When it comes to selecting a new #ceo, judgment really matters. The choice may devastate a #company or create enormous value. Directors who excel at selection zero in on the two or three distinct capabilities that a CEO will need to thrive at the firm in question. For example, when IBM was conducting a CEO search in 1993, many thought it should hire a #technologist, but two #directors saw that what the company really needed was an executive with business acumen, a customer orientation, and execution skills. At their urging, the board brought in Lou Gerstner, who quickly turned IBM’s $8 billion loss into a $3 billion profit. In a recent #research paper according to Harvard University an analysis of in-depth assessments of 17,000 executives, showed that there is a large disconnect between what #directors think makes for an ideal CEO and what actually leads to high performance. This article by Financial Times debates why Non-executive directors are becoming a more realistic option for the top job. However, boards are adapting, making changes to how they approach their own composition, their governance & processes. Appointing a board member can also be a sign of weakness. It can be indicative of a lack of imagination, and an inadequate talent option. #csuiteleaders #executivedirectors #culturetransformation #strategytoexecution #nonexecutivedirectors #businessgrowth #commmunications #trustbasedleadership #designthinking #vision #riskgovernance #riskmanagement #productinnovation #opportunities #boardofdirectors #trustbuilding #relationshipsarethetruecurrency #executivetalent #talentaquisition #leadershipdevelopment https://lnkd.in/ezePghvN

TRENDING NOW‼️ In an increasingly service-based economy, surfacing problems from employees presents a greater challenge than ever before as CEO. Why? A few reasons: 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞. 𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚.  𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱. Read now for five ways top leaders can close the gulf between what they know and what their employees know.

What would you do to prepare for your first meeting with your new CEO? This is one of those "you really don't want to fuck this up moments in one's career." Would you go it alone and hope for the best? Would you reach out to someone you trust to help talk you through the blind spots you may have? That is exactly what happened this last week when I spoke to a #chiefauditexecutive in the Audit Leader Forum™ After a 45 minute discussion he had a much better plan for approaching the meeting and really developing a good relationship with the new CEO and show the value of his #internalaudit group. If this is something you'd like, message me for a link to discuss if the Audit Leader Forum™ is right for you, so you can get the same kind of support. https://bit.ly/AuditLeader
