▲ 1 r/Leadership
Did I screw Up going with my Pick for my role and ignore my boss.
I'm a new(2years on the Team-Newest among peers) Executive at a F500. My peer lost an employee to a competitor, and ended up needing a backfill. My boss recommended my direct report, a Manager to take that role, so I had to backfill.
Went through interviews and landed on 2 candidates, with a 3rd currently reporting to my boss on a x-functional project. The 3rd did poorly in interviews when I shared this, my boss still thought I should consider this guy.
Despite this I decided to go with my preferred candidate. Good thing HR partner was on panel and recommended going with panel Grading.
Now I'm concerned/worried I committed career limiting move.
How can I roll this into a show of Leadership and conviction versus not playing Team.
