A chief executive search is an ideal means for an organization to establish a clear way forward. The confidential nature of the process lends itself to rigorous dialogue and reflection. Well managed, this dialogue produces powerful, revitalizing benefits.
Each search presents its own peculiar set of challenges, but a consistent logic and method can be applied in every circumstance. Often the challenges appear to be idiosyncratic - a Board in conflict with its chief executive over control of the strategic and policy agenda; destructive and undercutting competition for resources among silos within the organization; a beloved program languishing from a change in funder policies. These tensions are felt as personal and private. In fact they reflect a lack of leadership and objective analysis. The power of a search is to introduce a constructive means to overcome these tensions, to produce a clear direction forward for the Board, new chief executive and the organization.
