CEO Candidates
Supporting ambitious leaders to clarify what they want, develop executive readiness and navigate the CEO succession process.
If you've been identified as a future CEO candidate and you are trying to decide if the big job is for you, we can support you through this important question.
We will guide you through a personal career envisioning process to help you clarify what you most want, and then we will co-create a development plan for you.
When creating your development plan we will identify your behavioural tendencies and derailers (how you operate when stressed) by using a suite of executive assessments that are scientifically validated for executive selection.
We will also guide you through a benchmarking process to assess your current skillset against a model for top performing CEOs. We prepared this model by reviewing leading CEO awards around the world & discerning them into globally accepted criteria.
And, if beneficial to you, we will also interview stakeholders in your business to uncover your strengths and blind spots within the current environment so you better understand how to set yourself up for success. Our clients tell us that our Stakeholder-Centered Report is “career gold.”
When supporting CEO candidates, we operate from the belief that your potential as a CEO is revealed over time. The most important factors are your motivation to take on challenges and your willingness to listen to objective input about your strengths and gaps. Executive Coaching can further support you to make the necessary changes and career decisions.
A CEO job is an amazing opportunity to have an impact on the world, but it’s not for everyone. Also, the CEO selection process can be political. You need to adequately prepare yourself to navigate the whole situation thoughtfully.
Are you at an Inflection Point?
Stepping into the C-Suite isn’t a promotion; it’s a metamorphosis. Frankly, most people, even at that level, don’t fully grasp the sheer magnitude of it. Personal support during this time is non-negotiable.
The camaraderie of the past evaporates. You need a confidante, someone who understands the pressures of the role, yet is outside the company’s internal politics. A CEO role fundamentally alters the culture. You are now the architect, not just a participant.
