  • Summary

  • In this episode, we take a deep dive into recruitment and more specifically senior leadership recruitment within the Estates/Facilities Management area of higher education. With over 25 years’ experience in this field, Michael shares with us his top tips for securing a director level role. In addition, we explore the skills universities are looking for in their senior leaders: emotional intelligence and soft skills, demonstrable experience of driving transformational change and a real understanding of equality, diversity, and inclusion. KEY TAKEAWAY “The thing that gets people a job, are those soft skills. There will always be core things that people are looking for. They might want a degree for instance, sometimes they like to see MBAs and there's a kind of core level of competency that they expect, but what gets you the job, is the soft skills, it's the emotional intelligence. Qualifications get you in the door, but it's the other aspects that are going to get you the job.” ABOUT MICHAEL Since joining The Management Recruitment Group in 2008, Michael, a founding member, is now a board director and shareholder.
