CEO Onboarding

Hiring a CEO is one of the board’s most important responsibilities. CEO selection and appointment is costly, and failing to properly acclimate the new leader to the organization costs more.

We often hear board members comment that the former CEO ”failed to understand who we are….. they just didn’t get the culture”. Many times this failure to understand the organization can be traced back to a weak onboarding process, an uneven transition experience, poor communication, or all of the above. Shaping the CEO’s understanding of the organization early in their tenure helps them deliver on expectations and lead more effectively.

We follow a structured onboarding process to facilitate a CEO’s successful transition into their new role. Our process helps CEO’s avoid many of the cultural and leadership pitfalls that can derail even the most accomplished executive.

We work with CEO’s new to their organization, taking the helm for the first time, and/or looking to implement cultural change.
