23. The Search for Buried Talent with Tom Andriola

What would happen if you didn’t write an organizational chart? Tom Andriola joins the HiPERleadership podcast to share his strategies for overcoming the limitations of traditional org charts and uncovering existing talent within your organization. 

Most organizations tend to have buried talent. Too often, in the search to fill roles, we overlook our best candidates to achieve the goal. As the current Vice Chancellor, Information, Technology and Data; Chief Data Officer of UC Irvine and UCI Health, Tom has a track record of recruiting talent internally by finding people and bringing them into projects that they are passionate about. Whether they’re buried under management structures or put on initiatives that don't align with their strengths, Tom points to the ways leaders can craft a compelling vision that will draw out great talent.
