Why do some partners, co-founders, and COMEX members perform together for years, while others eventually burn out or clash?
A matter of skills? Or complementarity?
In this episode, Chloë Touati and Philippe Lafon explore a topic often overlooked in strategic recruitment and appointments: personality complementarity between individuals.
And its impact on the success of strategic teams.
While companies generally assess a candidate's skills, experience, or cultural fit, they still pay little attention to the quality of the relationship that will develop between two people expected to work closely together.
In this episode, Chloë and Philippe share practical insights for identifying risk areas, building lasting collaborations, and integrating this relational dimension into recruitment and onboarding processes.
Together, they specifically address:
👉 Why the "fit" between two people is often the forgotten element in recruitment
👉 The differences between value conflicts and a lack of operational complementarity
👉 How to assess complementarity through values, psychological roles, and behaviors under pressure
👉 The four dimensions of complementarity identified by the Harvard Business Review
👉 Why onboarding should also prepare for the relationship, not just the job role
👉 How to apply this logic of complementarity to our use of artificial intelligence
