      Traditional Approach

      Our Approach

      Most companies

      Go with their gut on talent decisions which can mean that these key decisions are heavily influenced by biases like 1st impression, halo/horns, similar-to-me, confirmation, and contrast.

      Result:​ ​Follow-on decisions related to hiring, onboarding, developing, coaching, promotions, team building, etc. may be the wrong decisions for the company or work against their strategic goals

      We help our clients…

      • Evaluate their talent in a systematic, rigorous, structured, metrics-driven, context-relevant, and unbiased way
      • Leverage assessments to evaluate candidates and executives against a common leadership framework (our LeaderFitTM Competency Framework)
      • Use customized reporting and insights, backed by qualitative and quantitative evidence, to make decisions that benefit role, team, and organizational goals 

      Many new leaders…

      • Are in a high-level leadership role for the first time, e.g., first-time CEO
      • Have not received adequate onboarding or support
      • Experience a disjointed start
      • Struggle to transition to a new and more expansive role

      Result: Mediocre performance, unachieved potential, or even outright failure

      We help leaders…

      • Feel supported and prepared through new leader integration and onboarding coaching solutions
      • Quickly adopt a leadership mindset, approach, and strategic focus through leadership coaching
      • Improve awareness, impact, and influence through executive coaching

       

      Many leadership teams…

      • Have multiple layers of silos, communicate ineffectively, and work inefficiently across functions

      Result: Teams that do not hit their stride, potential, or goals

       

       

      We help leadership teams…

      • Understand how they compare to other executive teams through the use of team assessments
      • Identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities in the team
      • Consistently create value together, through systemic team coaching

       

      Organizations frequently…

      • Struggle to retain key executives, high-potentials, or up-and-coming leaders
      • Must scramble to fill important openings at the executive and board levels

      Result: A weak future leadership pipeline, organizational uncertainty, and lots of stress

       

      We help organizations…

      • Identify high-potentials and up-and-coming leaders
      • Retain those future leaders through executive coaching and career development programs
      • Design a sustainable plan for succession of high-level executives and board members
