SEARCH

executive SEARCH

By prioritizing transformational leadership, we help healthcare organizations achieve their strategic goals and drive meaningful, lasting impact. We focus on uncovering individuals with the optimal blend of experience, skills, and leadership qualities, ensuring a seamless alignment with your organization’s mission and values.

Our approach to leadership selection is built on three foundational principles, ensuring your organization secures the right leaders to achieve its goals and deliver long-term success.

1. Defining a clear strategic agenda

We begin by collaboratively developing a strategic agenda tailored to the specific role. This agenda is shared with all key stakeholders, creating a unified understanding of what success entails. By establishing this shared vision, we ensure the search focuses on identifying leaders who can bring the agenda to life and deliver measurable, impactful results.

2. Comprehensive talent mapping

Our next step is to meticulously map relevant talent pools. By casting a wide net, we generate a diverse and highly qualified longlist of potential candidates. Through in-depth conversations, we evaluate not only their experience and skills but also their ability to bring fresh perspectives and drive performance. This ensures we identify individuals with the right combination of expertise and ambition to elevate your organization.

3. Data-driven decision-making

To reduce subjectivity in the selection process, we usually incorporate detailed personality profiling of shortlisted candidates. These profiles offer insights into their expected behaviors and decision-making styles from multiple perspectives. This data-driven approach enhances the rigor and objectiveness of the process, increasing the likelihood of a successful and enduring placement.

Individual Assessment

Our Individual Assessment process goes beyond evaluating skills and experience to focus on identifying candidates with the leadership potential and cultural alignment necessary for long-term success.

We use the Hogan Assessment, a globally respected tool that offers detailed insights into a candidate’s personality, behavior, and potential. This scientifically validated approach provides a comprehensive understanding of each candidate’s strengths, areas for development, and leadership style, enabling us to recommend leaders who are well-suited to your organization’s needs. The three key assessments we use are:

• LeaderFit
  Offers insights into work-related competencies and how each team member aligns with organizational goals.

• Hogan HDS
  Helps identify potential blind spots and areas where team members may struggle.

• Hogan MVPI
  Delves into each team member’s core values and motivations.

Individual assessments matter:

• Objective and data-driven: the assessment is based on proven psychological models, offering objective, data-driven insights into a candidate’s suitability for leadership roles, reducing bias, and ensuring accurate evaluations.

• Predicting leadership success: the assessment is designed to predict future behavior, helping to assess how candidates are likely to perform in leadership positions. This proactive approach ensures we find leaders who will succeed and thrive.

• Comprehensive insight: the assessment evaluates a candidate’s personality traits, cognitive abilities, and potential derailers, providing a full picture of their decision-making style, interpersonal skills, and resilience in high-pressure situations.

• Informed decision-making: our report, once validated with the candidate with our inhouse psychologists, offers actionable insights, allowing you to make confident, well-informed decisions about the leaders who will drive your organization forward.

Our Team assessment

Our Team assessment process is designed to evaluate the dynamics, strengths, and growth potential of your leadership team. By providing insights into how teams collaborate and work toward shared goals, we help improve team cohesion and effectiveness, ensuring that every member contributes meaningfully to collective success.

We take a comprehensive approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative methods. Our process integrates psychometric assessments, one-on-one interviews, and group observations, allowing us to thoroughly analyze how your team members work together, communicate, and contribute to the team’s overall performance.

Our process begins with psychometric questionnaires, which provide valuable data on individual competencies, leadership styles, and core drivers. Alongside these assessments, we conduct in-depth interviews with each team member. These personal conversations help us gain a nuanced understanding of individual and collective strengths, challenges, and areas for growth. Finally, we analyze the results from both the psychometric assessments and the interviews to create a collective team profile that highlights competencies, experiences, and motivations, helping to shape a clear picture of how the team functions.

Our assessments reveal key insights into team dynamics. Teams are often diverse and complementary in skills, approaches, and motivations, with members balancing strategic thinking and practical execution. Leadership styles vary, contributing to a well-rounded mix of inspirational, goal-driven, and mission-oriented leadership. Teams also share strengths in social skills, strategic thinking, and adaptability to change, with a focus on long-term goals and a growth-oriented mindset. However, development opportunities include improving tolerance for diverse perspectives and enhancing focus on collaboration, governance, risk management, (medical) innovation, technological advances etc.
