I'm on holiday at the moment, but I want to make sure you've got plenty of Recruiting Future content to listen to until I'm back. So for the next four weeks, I'm going to supplement the new interviews being published in July by republishing some of my favourite episodes with conversations you may have missed the first time around.
One of the continuing themes on the show has been how many employers are starting to think differently about talent and potential. It's always good to get a perspective from outside the industry. This week's replay is my conversation with Mehdi Kordi, the Dutch national track cycling coach, on development, performance, and culture.
In the interview, we discuss:
• What makes a good coach
• Managing riders, employees, and partners
• Getting the best out of people
• How do you spot talent?
• The importance of resilience
• The mental versus the physical
• The role of technology
• Running a world-class team with limited resources.
• Collaboration and partnerships
• Using culture to drive performance
• Clarity and transparency
• What does the future look like for track cycling?
