Ikigai is a beautiful concept for finding your purpose in your professional life. But what if we take that concept to our recruiting efforts - regardless of hiring a new employee, adding someone to our team, or getting a new ensemble member? In hiring, we focus on skills, expertise, and experience. This is, in Ikigai terms, "What we are good at." We also speak about money. But wouldn't it be good for teams to understand each other's passions and the worlds we care for? That could be a game changer in how we work together.
