Talent Solution: I imagine you would agree that executive leadership sets the culture and tone of an organization. Leaders motivate, set the pace and cadence, as well as modeling clear standards of behavior. Leaders should also have a steady hand on the tiller in times of organizational stress and uncertainly which seems to be a steady state these days. Understanding leadership culture when selecting key executive talent is essential to finding the right executive(s) that are a good fit for the senior leadership team. That fit also positively effects retention. We accomplish this by listening to executives perceptions of senior leadership's culture and then testing those against what an evidence-based assessment that defines senior leadership culture shows. We are looking for a fairly close alignment between perceptions and evidence/data. That alignment is essential to talent acquisition, fit with team and leadership culture and most importantly retention. #leaderhipdevelopment#executivesearch#leadershipculture

The stakes are high for PE-backed organizations, where building leadership teams that win is mission-critical. I had the pleasure of joining a great conversation at the Chief Executive Group PE-Backed Leadership Summit, where we explored strategies that drive team success in these high-pressure environments.   From talent retention to cross-generational collaboration, the discussion was packed with great questions and valuable insights.   One key takeaway was the growing recognition of the need for a Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) in portfolio companies. It’s more than just HR—having a CHRO ensures that talent development is strategically aligned with business growth, which is essential for long-term success.   The energy and engagement at the summit were inspiring, and I’m excited to continue these important conversations.   I’m particularly looking forward to our 10th annual PE Leadership Survey, where we’ll dive even deeper into the future of leadership development and what’s truly on the minds of PE leaders.   And a big thanks to Dan Bigman for joining me onstage at the Harvard Business Club.   Stay tuned—more insights to come!

Let’s be honest, finding the next great leader isn’t as simple as picking names out of a hat. Leaders don’t grow on trees, and we definitely can’t copy-paste our top talent (though that would be nice, right?). Here’s a surprising fact: Only 14% of companies feel they have strong future leaders ready to take over. That’s like running a relay race but only having one person trained to carry the baton. Now, imagine a workplace where future leaders are always being prepared, ready to step up when needed. That’s what good succession planning does, it ensures your business keeps running smoothly, even when leadership changes happen. Look at Starbucks, for example, they’ve created programs to help managers grow into higher roles. They invest in their people, and it pays off big time. What can you do? Start building your talent pipeline today. Teach, mentor, and prepare your team for leadership roles tomorrow. If you don’t plan for the future, you’re setting your business up for problems. And remember, the future waits for no one! #SuccessionPlanning #LeadershipDevelopment #FutureLeaders #TalentGrowth #BusinessSuccess #HRTips #TeamBuilding
