Aristotle wrote, “The truest knowledge of an art is achieved only by teaching that art”. As the manager conducts substantive, structured, formal skill improvement sessions, this will be found to be true. However, this benefit should not be limited only to the manager. The experienced search consultants too will gain markedly by preparing for and conducting such meetings.

In a firm with five or more experienced recruiters, the manager should eventually be conducting no more than 50% of the twice-a-week meetings. Every experienced recruiter has a skill in one or more of the facets of our complex business. Even if it is only playing a tape of a call and critiquing his own performance, he should be in charge of occasional skill improvement sessions.

The entire firm, but especially the meeting conductor will be the beneficiary.
