Bringing on the Right Executives and Leaders.  Are you prepared?
Original Date: September 24, 2008

The world economy and ever-growing pressure in the C-Suite put the spotlight on acquiring leadership talent when internal successors are not present or not ready for the next step. Linkage's approach to talent management incorporates a focus on helping companies ready themselves for this challenging scenario.

It's a high-risk proposition to bring in leaders from outside the organization. Before a successful search can take place, alignment on what is needed must occur. To be effective, HR leaders need to apply a deep understanding of the organization's culture and use Talent Audits to diagnose what is needed for the search. In this webinar, we will outline the steps that can be taken to ensure a successful search once the decision is made to look outside the organization, and we will cover the parameters of a leadership Talent Audit.
