Warren Buffet commented that, “Look for three things in a person-intelligence, energy, and integrity. If they don’t have the last, don’t bother with first two.”
The success of our Firm rests solely with identifying the rare talented “stars,” leaders who make measurable difference and do it with integrity. The critical question for Boards and CEOs, is determining “who” has the rare ability and fortitude to lead to value given the uncertainties of a rapidly reforming economy characterized by asymmetrical aspects spinning an accelerating pace.
Every one of our engagements focuses on recommending individuals who can meet today’s requirements and offer leadership upside…possess the” lift” to successfully and flexibly address the opportunities, yet unknown, of the future.
And, once again, we have successfully completed 100% of client mandates entrusted to us.
A Quick Update…
Our Board Practice, which recruits Directors and provides governance advice, continues to grow.
Our influence in the boardroom is becoming increasingly recognized in boardrooms and by the media.
Recently, for example, we completed Board of Director recruitments for a national real estate services concern, a leading consumer products company with recognized global brands, and for a rapidly expanding mid-cap industrial company, among others. And, we have assisted several Chairs in planning and establishing a process for effective and efficient Board of Director and CEO successions.
Our Executive Search Practice has added several new high profile clients for which we have successfully recruited senior operating executives as well as CFOs, CIOs and CHROs…all for public companies. Additionally, we have advised a number of private equity portfolio companies in top grading their leadership. And, we continue to advise fast emerging companies supporting founders and VCs.
With our expanding practice, we are well positioned to serve our clients seamlessly on their most “sensitive matters” locally, domestically and internationally.
Over the past year, we have established an international affiliation, comprised of Firms in Canada, Europe and Asia that share our quality standards thereby assuring high-quality professional service wherever a client seeks our advice…a global perspective incorporating local nuance.
Currently, we are collaborating on several Board of Director and CEO recruitments across borders.
Our promise to our clients is simple. “Just good enough” is not in our DNA. For each client matter, we achieve the agreed upon outcome…without compromise.
Wishing you a very successful second half of 2014.
