\n

Recruiting internally is often the wisest option. It saves time and onboarding costs, signals that the organization offers career paths, and gives someone a chance they might otherwise have sought elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men intern recruitment<\/a> har ocks\u00e5 fallgropar som f\u00e5 pratar om. H\u00e4r \u00e4r de vanligaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quiet overextension<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e4r en intern kandidat<\/a> g\u00e5r fr\u00e5n kollega till manager<\/a> \u00f6ver samma grupp \u2013 f\u00f6r\u00e4ndras dynamiken. Det borde f\u00f6rberedas, samtalas om och ges st\u00f6d i. I praktiken l\u00e4mnas den nya chefen ofta ensam med det.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving from colleague to manager is one of the harder transitions in working life. It requires stopping seeing yourself as part of the group and beginning to see yourself as responsible for the group. That shift rarely happens on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The promotion that consoles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes someone is promoted because they are good at what they do \u2014 not because they are the right person for the next step. That is known as the Peter Principle: the idea that in an organization, people tend to be promoted until they reach a position they can no longer perform well in. Not because they have become less capable \u2014 but because the skills that made them successful in the previous role do not automatically transfer to the new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question to ask is not only what the person has achieved so far, but what the next role actually requires. Those are two different things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes internal recruitment successful<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clarity about why the internal candidate was chosen \u2014 and honest communication with those who were not selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support through the transition \u2014 particularly when the role change means leading people who were previously colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An honest assessment of competence gaps \u2014 what does the person need to learn in order to succeed, and how is that supported?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal recruitment is rarely a simpler option. It is a different option \u2014 with its own requirements for preparation and follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have thoughts, questions, or simply want to talk something through \u2014 feel free to get in touch. I am happy to have an initial conversation with no agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
