Agreed. The strategic insights gained by executive assessments provide a detailed understanding of the leadership team's capabilities and skills to inform whether the post-acquisition team can drive the company toward its long-term goals. Proactively identifying gaps in the team minimizes risks associated with leadership transitions and enhances overall team performance.

1moAbsolutely agree on the importance of executive talent assessments during due diligence. As an HR leader and partner to the business, these assessments are invaluable. They allow us to "see around corners" by identifying potential leadership gaps and areas for development before they become critical issues. This proactive approach not only ensures we have the right leaders in place but also helps in tailoring support and development programs to address specific needs. Ultimately, this strategic insight fosters a stronger, more effective leadership team, driving better performance and as you mentioned higher returns for the company.
