Is Leadership Actually in Your DNA? Leadership is often seen as an innate quality—something you're born with. But is that really the full picture? While some traits may come naturally, the truth is that exceptional leadership is forged through a combination of inherent qualities, deliberate development, and a supportive environment. So, what’s the balance between nature and nurture when it comes to leadership? Taking our inspiration from a recent article 'The DNA of Strong Leadership' by the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC)... Traits You May Be Born With - Some characteristics that might naturally predispose an individual to leadership include: 🔵 Confidence: A natural sense of self-assurance often helps leaders step into positions of influence. 🔵 Charisma: The ability to inspire and connect with others often has deep roots in one’s personality. 🔵 Curiosity: Inherent curiosity can drive a leader to explore, learn, and innovate. 🔵 Decisiveness: A tendency to make firm decisions quickly may come more easily to some than others. What Environment and Attitude Bring to the Table - These inherent traits, however, can only go so far. The environment a person is exposed to and their attitude toward growth play a critical role in shaping leadership capabilities. Here’s how: 🔵 Adaptability and Resilience: While resilience may have a foundation in temperament, it’s developed through life’s challenges and the willingness to embrace change. 🔵 Effective Communication: Even the most charismatic individuals need to learn how to tailor their message, listen actively, and build trust through dialogue. 🔵 Strategic Thinking: Leaders may be naturally curious, but their ability to think strategically is honed through experience, mentorship, and learning from failure. 🔵 Emotional Intelligence: Empathy may be an innate trait, but managing emotions and understanding others is cultivated through practice and self-awareness. 🔵 Integrity and Ethical Judgment: While honesty may be a core value, ethical decision-making is refined through exposure to different scenarios and thoughtful reflection. The Verdict: Is Leadership in Your DNA? The short answer is: it’s both. Some people are born with traits that provide a solid foundation for leadership, but becoming a truly effective leader requires a conscious effort to develop skills, adapt to challenges, and learn from experiences. Leadership isn’t a fixed state—it’s a journey of growth shaped by both nature and nurture. Whether you were born with natural leadership traits or not, you can cultivate the DNA of a strong leader by focusing on growth, leaning into challenges, and committing to lifelong learning. The best leaders aren’t just born—they’re made. #leadershipdevelopment #executiveleadership #resilience

The way we recruit executive leaders is changing. Gone are the days when candidates needed to follow a strict, linear career path.

It’s about finding executives who thrive in dynamic environments, adapt quickly to change, and inspire innovation across industries. We are pleased to see alignment of our recruitment strategies with the latest insights from the Lendlease and TEDx Sydney whitepaper, "A New Age of Work."

At Galvin-Rowley Executive, we pride ourselves on delivering a recruitment experience that goes beyond the ordinary. For us, it’s not just about filling roles—it’s about truly understanding candidates and matching them with opportunities where they can thrive. We are thrilled to share this glowing testimonial from Craig, who recently worked with Rebecca Perrone during his transition into healthcare recruitment: "I was recently involved with Rebecca whilst being recruited to work in healthcare recruitment. I have dealt with a number of large organisational HR teams over my career, and without a doubt, the care and understanding that Rebecca showed through the whole process was the best I have ever been involved in. Attention to detail, appropriate catch-ups, documents and meetings when required, but mostly, just a sincere desire to know who she is recruiting and then matching the job to the person. Bravo Rebecca Perrone." ~ Craig This feedback is a testament to Rebecca’s dedication to understanding each candidate’s strengths and aligning them with the right opportunity. Her personalised approach reflects our commitment to care, precision, and building lasting professional connections. Bravo, Rebecca! 👏 #executivesearch #talentacquisition #leadershipdevelopment #candidatesuccess #recruitmentexperience #healthcarerecruitment #personalisedrecruitment #greexecutivesearch #candidatecare #leadershipconsulting
