Finding and Growing New Leaders

• Facing a change in executive leadership? In some cases it may be the departure of a long-time leader or even a founder. In others, normal turnover has resulted in the need to identify new executive leadership. Such transitions are a major challenge to an organization.
• For the Board of Directors, it is a major "board moment" that is a pure board decision.
• For the staff, consumers, and other stakeholders, new leadership is perhaps the major factor in their perception of the organization's future.
• Even when the departure of leader is not imminent, the development of leadership within the ranks is a key organizational capacity that is often overlooked.

We are experienced consultants to nonprofit human service organizations who can help organizations to:

• Understand the value of leadership.
• Determine those leadership qualities that equal success.
• Prepare a board and staff for transition.
• Build an orderly yet aggressive transition plan.
• Identify clear selection criteria.
• Advise decision makers.
• Develop leadership models for executive management.
• Provide executive coaching.
• Provide transitional executive services.
