In recruitment, the path you choose reflects what you truly value. While contingent search moves fast, retained search moves with purpose—making space for honest conversations and long-term alignment. At Head Recruitment, we don’t just fill roles. We build capability, shape teams, and choose partnership over quick wins.
Management styles can affect employee engagement
They’ve got the title.
The team.
The corner office.
(Or at least the top row on Teams or Zoom.)
But real leadership isn’t about the title. It’s about being tuned in.
Too often, people in power get stuck in their own feedback loop—insulated, comfortable, unaware. They start speaking AT their team, instead of WITH their team. And what gets lost? Trust, energy, and retention.
Because when leaders can’t hear the team or what’s happening outside of their fishbowl, even the strongest culture starts to crack.
Leadership isn’t about controlling the noise.
It’s about noticing the quiet.
Knowing when to lean in, when to step back, and how to make space for the people you lead.
As Simon Sinek says: “Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.”
The question we’re asking:
What does leadership that truly listens and engages look like in 2025?
