An Open Letter to Board Members, CEOs, and Human Resource Managers

describe the image

Dear CEO, Board Member, or HR Manager,

Chances are that in the next year you will hire one or more top executives for your organization. You will hire a search firm, go through a very time consuming decision making process to vet candidates, and invest a lot of money in the candidate you chose.

You are not just hiring them to fill a slot in the organization chart (as in year’s past), but given today’s business context, you are hiring them to reach goals as impossible as climbing Mt. Everest and to bring about intended change.

Yet according to research by the George Gallup organization, the chances are 60/40 that this newly hired executive will be out the door in a year. Why? In some cases the person was miss-hired, but in more cases he or she didn’t make a successful transition into the new job.

Most newly hired executives walk into a sink or swim culture. Unfortunately many sink when they don’t have to.

We have a state of the art executive onboarding and “first 100 day” coaching process that can dramatically increase the odds of your new leader’s success.

Our executive onboarding coaching process provides leaders with:

We coach people face-to-face monthly and week-to-week on the telephone. The cost is $30K for top execs and $15K for those at the director level.

Invite your new hires to participate in My First 100 Day Coaching Program and you will dramatically increase the odds of success.

We want to get to know you and your organization, its most pivotal goals, problems, and culture. Every time you hire a new executive for a key position, we want you to call us. We will play 100 percent to make sure each individual we coach will:

a) Make a successful executive transition into their new role,

b) Establish a virtuous circle of increasing personal credibility, and

c) Build rapid momentum toward key goals and intended change.

Please get in touch with me to have an exploratory conversation.

Sincerely,

Robert Hargrove

Founder Masterful Coaching
