What an executive recruiter can provide in this situation is the wisdom to select those that may not be on your business' radar. YES Partners likes to pride itself on finding the perfect fit for your business: the person who is best for the job, no matter where they come from.
That might even include individuals that aren't traditionally what your board of directors originally had in mind. Lauren Leader-Chivee writes for Inc. that this shouldn't just be an abstract idea and should extend to promoting diversity within your ranks.
"Hiring an introvert instead of an extrovert doesn't really make a big difference in terms of innovation potential," she says. "The unique life experience that someone diverse brings leads him or her to understand the world and customers differently."
Once you've established that the person who will be assuming CEO tenure is going to shake up the established employee culture in some way, you might inevitably then begin thinking about the various means by which the corporate culture might change. This might seem to be a big step, but it could be a necessary one that allows you to focus more on what you do best.
For example, will the different cultural environment require a new approach to employee discipline? A post on Chubbworks describes important things to consider when approaching this subject.
YES Partners stands by its commitment to provide you the best possible answer to your executive vacancy, and this includes the "new blood" approach that might help energize things and put a new focus on profitability.
Finding people is easy, but finding the RIGHT people is not. YES Partners helps companies FIND the right people – for all company functions, across many industries and globally.
