Investing in Leadership That Lasts
Identifying and then appointing a new leader is a significant moment for most businesses. But it's what happens next that can be just as important as the hiring decision itself.
We believe that the right support during those first months is critical, not just for the individual, but for the wider business they’ve joined and the people they will lead.
To strengthen not just the short to medium term of a new hires impact, but to create the right foundations for longer term retention of great talent, the last few years have seen us forge a successful partnership with specialist Executive coaching consultancy Open Reflexion to offer bespoke transition coaching for our leadership appointments.
This is not standard practice in the industry, and that’s precisely the point.
A Strategic Extension of Our Search Work
Great leadership takes time, clarity, and the space to think, not least when navigating change, facing varying degrees of ambiguity or stepping into complexity.
Through our established and trusted partnership with Open Reflexion, we help our clients to support their new leaders by providing a platform to choose an experienced and accredited coach, creating a confidential space for challenge, support and reflection.
This investment helps leaders:
Strengthen early relationships with stakeholders and teams
Enable better, faster decisions aligned with business context
Build confidence and resilience and the capacity to operate in complex environments
Focus on what matters most, for the business and for themselves
As an employer, it’s a signal of intent. It demonstrates commitment to your new hire’s success and sends a clear message that you’re backing their leadership from day one.
Backing Your Leadership Investment From Day One
Transition coaching is a smart, effective way to ensure that investment delivers lasting value for employer and employee. If you’re building out a leadership team and want to give them the best start, we’d love to talk about how this partnership could support you. Alternatively, we'd happily put you in touch with people we've placed and have first hand experience of working with Open Reflexion coaches.
