The key to scaling successfully 👇 There comes a time in the growth cycle of any ambitious business when the Owner / Founder can no longer do it all. They have to trust professionals to do a better and more cost effective job so they can focus on the real high value tasks. A prime example of this is using executive search consultants. When a business is small, it makes perfect sense for business leaders to make all critical hiring decisions, often leveraging personal networks to build their initial teams. Yet, there is usually one or two specialised roles, like a CFO or Compliance Director, where the level of expertise may not be as strong. In such cases, turning to an executive search professional isn't just helpful—it's necessary. However, as the business grows, the most important hiring decisions need to remain with the director. But... all the grunt work such as identifying top talent, especially those not actively looking, and managing the shortlisting process, can be efficiently managed by a trusted headhunter. This strategic delegation marks a pivotal shift where a Directors time becomes more valuable than the cost of hiring. If you're in this stage of the growth cycle and feel it would be beneficial to have a conversation witha headhunter about your hiring requirements, please get in touch. #businessgrowth #leadership #executivesearch #delegation #scalingup

Executive presence is a nuanced concept beyond educational degrees, technical skills, or experience. While these factors might help you get hired, they don't necessarily equate to having an executive presence, a quality you might not notice in a leader at first glance. However, its absence is often immediately apparent.

Have you ever had to experience the consequences of a failed management appointment for yourself?    The success or failure of a new manager is fundamentally determined by whether the manager and the leadership position fit together. This becomes painfully clear in the case of a bad hire with all its negative consequences. But how can you determine in advance who will be a good long-term fit for the company?    Decision-makers and hiring managers know that the "invisible" factors within the personality are decisive when appointing a new leader. Despite this, there is almost never any attempt at identifying these factors beyond the vague indicators of a good "gut feeling" or a positive "first impression". This creates situations in which successful management appointments have more to do with chance than strategy.    How can chance be taken out of the selection process? The answer is simple: Through a holistic selection strategy! Not only a candidate's experience and skills but also their personality disposition, motivation, leadership style and emotional intelligence must be taken into account.    In the Executive Insights whitepaper "Hired by Skills, Fired for Attitude! The invisible factors for filling management positions successfully", the experienced executive search consultants Klaas Koolman and Thomas Kollmar provide an introduction to the empirical principles of psychometric assessments and present the most important diagnostic tools they use themselves.    🔵 You can download and read the whitepaper for free here: https://lnkd.in/eJBAihpV   🔵 Discover more Executive Insights in our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/e_hKgXZw      #ExecutiveSearch #ResultsThroughPeople 

Looking for Your Next CEO? Understand These Best Practices First Hiring a CEO isn’t like hiring any other employee.

Some research even indicates that your CEO’s performance can predict 40% of your company’s outcome. With that much at stake, it’s imperative to make sure you have a clear plan in place for choosing your company’s next leader. The right CEO can transform your company for the better, but the wrong one can undo years — or even decades — of progress. Here are some suggestions to consider as you embark on your search. https://lnkd.in/g5EG3jKQ
