Prepare and grow tomorrow’s leaders by identifying the potential in your next generation.
Our research-backed understanding of what drives C-Suite and CEO Success coupled with our validated model of predicting executive potential will help you identify where to invest and how to build leadership capacity for the future. We’ve uncovered five reasons why even the best companies struggle to maximize their leadership talent portfolio: they select the wrong people; they start too late; they mortgage the future, solving for near-term needs; they over-invest in generic programs; they lack metrics and follow-through.
Our approach encourages boards and CEOs to manage their talent portfolio as they would their business portfolio — actively, deliberately, continuously. We closely monitor the progress of the critical 25-50 leaders against the company’s evolving strategy.
We’ll align business and behavioral outcomes. The criteria we use to assess leaders is tethered to where the business is today and where it needs to go in the future, not to general universally accepted competencies.
Our Potential Model will demystify leadership potential by breaking it down into observable, measurable behaviors (Cognitive Quotient, Drive Quotient, Emotional Quotient).
