Dr. Rajiv J. Shah - President at The Rockefeller Foundation | Hiring People Who Can Pivot
There was a time when smarts were everything in business.
High IQ was the golden ticket.
But let's face it, that's not the whole picture anymore.
Picture a startup. Filled with top-tier intellects. But struggling.
What's missing?
It's not just brains. It's adaptability. Purpose.
The game's evolved.
In a rapidly changing business landscape, being 'smart' isn't just about IQ. It's about being nimble.
And driven by more than just profit.
At the Rockefeller Foundation, a shift happened. A move away from the traditional.
It's not only about having the brightest.
It's about having those who can quickly adapt.
People who understand the broader mission.
Who are committed, not just competent.
This is what modern intelligence looks like.
Here's the reality:
You've got a team of top graduates. Clever. Capable. But when something unexpected like COVID strikes, pure intellect isn't enough.
You need people who can pivot, who are motivated by a deeper purpose.
We're talking about the 'athletes' in the business world. Ready to adapt, not just execute.
Why this matters:
Business today isn't a straight line.
It's more like an obstacle course.
Full of unexpected challenges.
And it's those who are agile and values-driven who navigate it best.
This is the core of modern entrepreneurship.
Combining intelligence with flexibility.
Brains with heart.
So, when you're building your team, remember:
Yes, look for intelligence.
But prioritize those who are quick to adapt and driven by values.
Because ultimately, business is not just a financial endeavor.
It's a journey shaped by both purpose and agility.
And those who can shift gears with conviction,
They're the real changemakers.
