Executive Onboarding

We help Chief Executive Officers adapt to their new roles and responsibilities and become full contributors rapidly and with fewer problems.

The process, called Executive Onboarding, complements a board’s rigorous — and often costly — executive search. It helps new CEOs quickly understand their new organization’s unique culture so they can set immediate goals and build effective working relationships that deliver results.

Onboarding positions new CEOs for success and helps guarantee that the investment made in their hiring delivers strong returns.

IntoGreat Evaluation  We custom develop and facilitate evaluations that help boards of directors effectively evaluate their chief executive officers and assist CEOs with evaluating their direct reports. IntoGreat Evaluation uses best business practices to provide exactly the right tools boards of directors and CEOs need to assess executive performance, provide constructive feedback, establish appropriate goals and timelines and validate compensation decisions. An IntoGreat Evaluation ensures every organization’s unique work culture and business circumstances are honored to help directors and CEOs maintain their legal and fiduciary responsibilities. We serve as the neutral facilitator of executive evaluations to help ensure a smooth, consistent and comprehensive process that reflects a range of opinions and recommendations clearly.

 

IntoGreat OnBoarding Companies typically invest significant sums to hire top talent and comparatively little to position those senior executives for success after they’ve been brought “on board.” So, it’s no surprise to us that industry studies show 40 percent of senior executives are not in those positions after 18 months. It is vitally important to the success of your organization to help new senior executives attain a solid sense of their purpose and value within the context of your unique work culture, mission and business goals. IntoGreat OnBoarding helps new senior executives acquire the knowledge and behaviors that help them adjust quickly and become effective leaders internally. We develop and facilitate custom processes that lead to better job performance, greater commitment to the organization, higher staff retention and more job satisfaction for everyone.

 

IntoGreat Executive Mentoring We work closely with executives, evaluating their professional performance to help ensure their growth and success. IntoGreat Executive Mentoring offers real-time feedback that gives executives immediate insight into the impact — positive and negative — they have in a variety of business situations. We provide on-the-ground, practical feedback and recommendations and leave the theory to management textbooks. We shadow meetings and events. We observe staff and board interaction. We listen — and look — beyond communication and presentation to help our clients become more effective leaders. We customize our mentoring services to meet an individual client’s unique needs.

 

IntoGreat Board Development  It’s imperative that individual board directors work effectively with each other and for the good of the organization to which they have legal and fiduciary responsibilities. IntoGreat Board Development focuses on every stage of a director’s board involvement — from orientation to the formal recognition and thanks extended at the end of a term. We also step in to devise and facilitate board retreats that are specially designed to meet our clients’ specific needs.
