Choose the Right Leader Confidently
When searching for the right leader, many executives go with their gut. Today, with data and predictive models, the subjective “gut feeling” now has the data and analytics to confirm or disprove a new hire’s potential.
Identifying Leaders
Identifying and retaining leaders who can grow into their potential, manage business challenges and fit in with an organization’s culture is imperative. During our assessment process, we identify leaders who best facilitate vision, improve performance and encourage positive change. Determining readiness or ability to step into a role helps you make informed decisions about your existing talent.
An unsuccessful senior-level hire conservatively costs the organization 3x the executive’s annual salary.
A leader in the top 2% of the talent distribution in a critical role will deliver exponential business impact compared to an average hire.
