Repost from Asha Walsh: “COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY” Candidate: “I’ve really enjoyed meeting everyone, and the role sounds great.” Me: “Do you have any hesitations?” Candidate: “No… I just don’t know what else is out there. I have nothing to compare it to.” This happens so often! The hesitation to commit because of “what ifs” can lead to missed opportunities. Here’s the risk: ⭕️You could lose the role you actually want. ⭕️You might end up settling for a less ideal role. ⭕️Or worse, be stuck in a prolonged and exhausting job search. If you’ve found a role with great people, interesting work, a supportive leader, and it ticks all your boxes, why wait? Overthinking can send the wrong message and leave the door open for someone else to take it. Sometimes, the best opportunities ARE the first ones you find. Trust your instincts and pull the trigger —you might just save yourself from unnecessary stress! #strategy #comparison #taketheleap #oaktreetalent

❓What does it take to move from Strategy to a C-Suite role? Leah Weckert, CEO of Coles, recently shared her insights on exactly this with me. Oaktree's trusted business partner, Ilan Leshetz, has spent years recruiting CEOs, COOs, and strategic CFOs. These leaders often come to us for help tapping into our extensive network of ex-management consultants. But let me tell you—they’re not just looking for shiny consulting resumes. This time of year, we get flooded with calls from consultants seeking career advice as they gear up for the New Year. Many are pondering the same question: How do I move beyond strategy and into a significant P&L role? Here’s the reality: the clients hiring for C-Suite roles want more than consulting credentials. They’re after those who’ve excelled in consulting and proven they can deliver results in complex businesses. Think influencing diverse stakeholders, tackling messy problems, and driving change with both gravitas and a humble, empathetic approach. Leah Weckert and Anika Stokes explored what it takes to gain that critical operational experience in an ASX-listed business. It’s all about building the credibility to be seen as someone who can lead at that level. Have you thought about how to position yourself for that next step?
