Hiring a C-level executive isn't just about filling a seat; it's about altering the DNA of your leadership team. In this episode, Werner Spronk (Tech Terra Search) joins Chris Parker to reveal why 85% of an executive's success depends on their fit within the existing team dynamic - not just their resume.

We explore the dangerous trap of "lazy leadership" in hiring, why AI will never replace the "Human IP" of a great recruiter, and how to use tools like the Job Fulfillment Matrix to stop hiring for skills and start hiring for energy.

Key Topics:

• The 85% Rule: Why team constellation matters more than individual competence.

• Lazy Leadership: Are you hiring a mirror image of yourself or what the team actually needs?

• The Job Fulfillment Matrix: A tool to identify burnout risks before you sign the contract.

• Human IP vs. AI: Why the future of recruiting is about sensing stress and trust, not keyword matching.

• Candidate Strategy: How to flip the interview script to ensure you are a "net add" to the team.
