Ken Haycock & Associates Inc.

Selecting Your CEO

Selecting your director or chief executive officer is the single most important decision that a board can make. The three priority roles for a boardare setting the strategic direction, selecting a CEO to implement the strategic plan and monitoring and evaluating performance and progress.

In spite of this, most boards spend little time on the critical steps in recruitment and selection processes, let alone “on-boarding” and orientation and assessment. When one considers the time spend on the selection of a million dollar acquisition like an integrated technology system, the time spent on CEO selection pales by comparison, even though the costs are as high (consider salary/benefits and average time in the position) and so are the risks of a wrong decision.

We offer a full service executive search program, from working with you to establish the profile of the successful candidate to presenting candidates who meet your profile, following in-depth focused interviews and extensive reference checks before you ever meet them. All of our work is research- and evidence-based. All of our work is guaranteed.
