Are You A Bad Recruiter Or Does Your Boss Have Unrealistic Expectations?

So, a top recruiter for a big Silicon Valley company, who was at least good enough to survive the past year of carnage in all industries, was recently told by his bosses that he wasn’t “strategic” enough. Who knew? Certainly not this guy: he thought he was doing a good job. Turns out, he’s thought of as a “super doer” (as in, a manager who does his employees’ work because he thinks he can do it better) and only hung onto his job because he had good relationships with everyone.
