Most responses to our question on ‘Head honcho's kin as head hunter?' have this underlining thought: “It doesn't matter who the head hunter is, as long as the job is done professionally.”
Some readers have also made references to specific instances where the business of the head hunter has allegedly benefited because people close to them were decision-makers in client organisations.
But as Mr Ramakrishnasayee from Ranipet says, ‘The central feature of genuine leadership in modern day management is the ability to make each member perform to his/her potential and create team players.'
The job and choice of a head hunter, therefore, be it for hiring the leader or his team, becomes all the more critical.
Never mind if it's the boss' kith, kin or a complete stranger.
