Please note that a version of the conversation was originally ran on the HR Heretics podcast. This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity. Key takeaways Write a MOC. A MOC document can help you prioritize what jobs you need an executive to do so you can hire against those needs. Leading by influence, not directive.
