RELEASING POTENTIAL
helping you and your team
In our capacity as headhunters, we’re continually interacting with senior execs and specialists, both clients and candidates side.
Our observations are broad and deep. When it comes to hiring winners and developing people to be the best versions of themselves we benefit from feedback coming at us from all directions.
Assessing People
What’s Your Process, and Where Does It All Live?
Most leaders and managers do not know how to assess people. They have not been trained at business school nor coached by their employers to do so.
You cannot properly lead or develop, nor elevate the performance of your teams without being able to do this.
The following guidelines will help you to bridge this gap. Begin now, and you’ll be a better leader within 3 months.

Leadership Onboarding
If you are making a senior leadership hire, we offer onboarding coaching designed to help your new executive integrate seamlessly into the leadership team. This service can be included as part of our headhunting process or provided separately to support your wider leadership objectives.
Our expert leadership coach brings five years of experience working with investors and scale-up firms on leadership development, onboarding, and team effectiveness. His background includes leading and integrating 17 acquisitions as CEO of a private equity firm. He specializes in onboarding and leadership team effectiveness, working closely with the new hire over their first six months and facilitating a dedicated leadership team session to accelerate integration and impact.

The First 100 Days!
The Risk and Cost of New Hire Failure
-
Up to 58% of external executive hires fail within 18 months (Harvard Business Review).
-
46% of all new hires leave their jobs within the first year (Leadership IQ).
-
23% of new hires leave before their first anniversary, often due to poor onboarding (Gallup).
-
20% of employees quit within the first 45 days (SHRM).
-
The cost of a failed senior hire can exceed 3x their annual salary when factoring in recruitment, lost productivity, and disruption (SHRM)
Most of our clients are tech/digital companies - they face not only the usual set of challenges when it comes to making leadership hires - but also with respect to high impact senior sales hires. Hence we've got tips to address both critical areas.

Why You Should Re-Think Emotional Intelligence
It's misunderstood. Perhaps poorly named. It sounds emotional but its more than about being angry, upset, impulsive or indecisive.
Because it accounts for 58% of performance in all job types.
Incorrectly labelled, it really should have been called behavioural intelligence.
