A bad executive hire costs far more than a salary; it can erode culture, stall momentum, disrupt strategy, and create a ripple effect throughout an organization. In this episode, Dr. Drew Brannon sits down with new AMPLOS team members Brandon Bailey and Matthew Barnes, who lead AMPLOS' Executive Search offering, to explore what separates executive search from traditional recruiting, why structured and thoughtful evaluation matters, and how organizations can make better leadership decisions. From interviewing and behavioral fit to market intelligence and cultural alignment, discover why finding the right leader requires far more than checking a box.
