👥 Not all leaders are the same—and that’s a good thing. From Growth Marketer CMOs who excel in demand generation to Brand Marketer CMOs focused on positioning, each executive archetype brings unique strengths. The challenge? Matching the right archetype to your business’s current needs. Whether you’re scaling quickly or stabilizing operations, understanding these archetypes can transform your executive team.

The talent acquisition landscape is evolving, and flexibility is no longer a perk—it's an expectation and a necessity. One of our talent-focused webinars highlighted a pressing challenge: talent mobility and remote work. Our guest, Mark Frein, shared that employees increasingly prefer living where they thrive and working remotely, instead of relocating for jobs. This shift, accelerated by the pandemic, transforms the talent market, especially in tech. 🌍 Here's why this matters: 💡 Traditional recruiting, focused on local talent pools, is being replaced by global strategies. 💡 The rise of distributed teams presents opportunities but demands stronger managerial capabilities to foster engagement and alignment. 💡 Smaller companies can tap into broader talent networks, though it complicates operations and decision-making. At Bolster, we've seen CEOs turn this complexity into opportunity. Leaders are embracing flexible cultures and innovative approaches like on-demand roles. How is your organization adapting to this new reality? Share your thoughts below!👇 Watch the webinar: https://lnkd.in/gzaBtMGz #RemoteWork #TalentAcquisition #Leadership #WorkplaceFlexibility

When it comes to executive search, a title alone isn’t enough to define a role. The Leadership at Scale report highlights the importance of identifying the right focus within a role. At Bolster, we call these archetypes. For instance, a finance leader can bring value as an Accountant CFO in a company with complex financial needs or as a Strategist CFO to support future growth. Similarly, CMOs can build strong brand presence as Influence Marketers or fuel demand generation as Growth Marketers. Aligning an executive's specific strengths with the company’s goals at each stage can unlock new growth and innovation. Is your company using archetypes to make impactful hires?
