ADRM VP of Talent & Culture, Miranda Gaines, Discusses Initiative and Ownership on the Cento Leadership Table Podcast

ADRM Vice President of Talent & Culture, Miranda Gaines, recently joined Brett Ennals on the Cento Leadership Table Podcast to discuss how to assess initiative and ownership during the interview process—two key traits that are crucial to any successful team.

In the episode, Miranda shared how ADRM’s approach to hiring goes beyond technical qualifications to focus on behaviors that reflect accountability, curiosity, and forward thinking. She explained how situational interview questions, active listening, and conversational depth can reveal a candidate’s ability to anticipate needs, take responsibility, and drive results without waiting for direction.

Initiative and ownership empower our team members to make thoughtful decisions, deliver exceptional client experiences, and continuously improve how we work. As Miranda emphasized, building teams with these traits ensures that ADRM remains adaptive, collaborative, and focused on long-term success.
