Rationale for Assessment
There is no question that hiring and placement decisions are
critical to the success of a business. Placing the right people
in the right roles is essential for effective strategy execution,
and predicting how someone will perform in a given role is of
the utmost importance, given the substantial direct and indirect
costs of a poor hire.
Hiring managers often lack valuable information that can
better ensure solid decisions on acquiring or promoting
talent. Executive assessments are a cost-effective way
to gather reliable and hard to obtain data on a candidate’s
competencies, capabilities and potential shortcomings in
order to avoid costly hiring mistakes. Assessments provide
a more thorough understanding of a candidate which will
help determine the “goodness of fit” with a particular
role or company.
Our Process
We begin by obtaining the necessary information on what is required of the role in question and consider the unique qualities of your organizational culture. We then assess a candidate’s competencies, intelligence, and personal factors essential for managerial and executive success. Licensed doctoral-level consultants conduct in-depth interviews and administer legally defensible assessment tools that measure personality and character, critical thinking, motivational drivers and leadership capability.
Assessment results provide objective feedback and clear recommendations that will substantially improve your confidence when making critical senior-level staffing decisions.

| Leadership
Coaching |
Our coaching promotes optimal interpersonal effectiveness
and enables you or your staff to become better leaders, managers
and communicators. Whether you wish to bolster already developed
skills to gain an advantage, or re-engage talented individuals
who are underperforming, coaching facilitates positive behavioral
change.
Coaching begins with a detailed assessment of individual
goals, opportunities for development and (optional) 360 feedback,
and quickly yields an actionable plan for improvement. Measures
for coaching success are established and tracked throughout
the process. Typical outcomes of executive coaching include:
- Strengthened Leadership by advancing competencies in interpersonal relations, providing accountability and leading by example.
- Effective Management of reports, peers and senior leadership by understanding your impact on people and the nuances underlying work relationships.
- Clear Communication created by improved listening, effective delivery of essential messages and increased
authenticity.
- Reduced Stress through reprioritized responsibilities and managing the emotional highs and lows of business life.

| Team
Effectiveness |
High-performing
teams are essential to company productivity. Teams that possess
significant interpersonal conflict or lack cohesion can create
a multitude of problems, including decreased morale and negative
effects on the bottom line.
Our method begins with an assessment to discover
the core issues facing a team. Team coaching sessions
surface these issues and provide a forum for leveraging
healthy conflict, understanding individual strengths, modeling
effective communication and resolving problems. Team feedback
and developmental plans are provided. Optional action-learning
opportunities tied to organization-specific business problems
serve to solidify improved team effectiveness.
