About Leadership
Oftentimes, leadership gets categorized in an authoritative capacity and nothing more. But we see leadership as a catalyst for unlocking team potential.
Our executive recruiting strategies focus equally on skill set and culture fit because we believe that when there is synergy between these two attributes, transformative progress can be achieved.
Simon Sinek's quote reminds us that leadership is more nuanced than just a position of authority, and we couldn't agree more! 🌱🐞

The Power of Soft Skills
Far from being merely "nice to have," soft skills have become essential differentiators in today's competitive job market.
These are the soft skills we believe can transform you into an outstanding leader:
Communication
Thoughtful communication bridges understanding gaps, enhances team collaboration, and strengthens client relationships.
Adaptability
The ability to navigate change with confidence and creativity fosters a culture of resilience and transforms challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation.
Leadership
Leading with emotional intelligence and a clear vision creates environments where teams flourish and exceed expectations.
Problem-solving
Strategic problem-solving transforms obstacles. This critical skill builds team confidence, creates positive change, and establishes your reputation as a valuable resource.
Time Management
Mastering time management enhances focus, reduces stress, and creates space for innovation that benefits you, your team, and your mission.
The evidence is clear: to truly stand out and advance, particularly in executive leadership roles within life sciences, mastering interpersonal soft skills is non-negotiable and a career differentiator.
As we say to our candidates, these skills amplify your technical knowledge, creating leadership opportunities that foster innovation and drive transformative results.

Science of People -Soft Skills Matter
The strongest professionals today are not just experts.
They’re fluent cross-functionally, interpersonally, and strategically.
In other words: Soft skills are in demand.
Being an adaptive and dynamic professional who can flex between technical acumen and interpersonal communication is a requirement for most leadership positions.
The great news is, for our data-loving scientists and physicians, there are many resources available to help hone these softer skills.
One of our favorite resources for a better understanding and education around soft skills and communication is Vanessa Van Edwards.
She is the founder of Science of People and has an academic lab to study people and their behaviors. She has written the books How to Captivate and Cues, which explore the attributes of charisma and how to read people—body language, eye contact, facial expressions, where to sit in a room for authority, and how to build trust and credibility, focusing a lot on the softer skills. Along with her books, Vanessa has many articles on her website and her YouTube channel is a wealth of information.

Hiring Season is Here
September and October are prime months for candidates exploring their next role.
Vacations are wrapping up, kids are back in school, and companies are making their final hiring push before the year-end slowdown. Hiring managers are motivated and ready to fill open positions.
Our best advice? Approach this season strategically. The increase in job postings doesn’t mean applying blindly will yield the best results.
Instead, focus on:
🌱 Leveraging your network
🐞 Thoughtfully connecting with individuals tied to the company or role
🌱 Going the extra mile to personalize your outreach
It takes effort, but it’s well worth it.

Our Advice to Clients and Candidates
Our advice to clients and candidates?
Treat feedback like data points in a clinical trial.
Collect it. Analyze it. Adjust. And keep moving.
Resilience is iterative. Just like science.
Think of executive search like a clinical trial. 🔬
Setbacks are inevitable, but they provide invaluable data points that will inform a path forward
This is why feedback is important.
The current life sciences market requires resilience. And feedback provides the perfect data points to create it.
This is a time to hone your skills, use feedback as a tool, and continue forward.
The job market has evolved. Rather than frequent job changes, today's trends favor strategic career moves that align with long-term goals.
This approach is something we at HarmoniaBio work hard to support our candidates with.
There is immense opportunity, and by leveraging available insights and guidance, you'll position yourself to recognize and seize these opportunities.
As veterans of the industry, we are here to help guide you through this process with empathy and expertise.

But it wasn't just that: this team are systematic and don't leave anything to chance. What truly sets Holly apart is her perceptiveness. She not only analyzes the facts but also considers the personal traits and values of the candidate, going above and beyond mere skills and qualifications. Executive search and talent acquisition is not just a job for Holly; she finds fulfillment in ensuring that hiring the right person for the right role is the foundation of success for people-focused organizations. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to Holly and Juliana for making my hiring journey so rewarding!"

Don’t Wait for Mentorship to Find You
No matter where you are in your career, one of the best pieces of advice we can give is to actively seek out mentorship rather than passively waiting for it to come to you, as our Executive Talent Partner & Head of Search Strategy, Juliana Rissi, emphasizes.
As executive recruiters, we encourage our clients and candidates to look beyond traditional mentorship to include sponsors who champion you when you're not in the room and even "non-traditional mentors" through books, podcasts, and thought leadership.
We deeply appreciate those who use their voices and influence to elevate others, fostering cultures where talent is championed rather than competing.
➡️ Remember: authentic leadership inspires at every level. ⬅️
