Top candidates have the necessary expertise - but what about the dynamics in the management team?
Many bad appointments occur because companies don't match the dynamics in the existing leadership team with the candidates at an early stage.
The key? Clarity in the process. Those who disclose early on how the existing management team works and which leadership skills are really in demand minimize risks and maximize success.
At the Future Leadership Events in Glattbrugg, Simon Boss and Martin Meier shared their experiences of “total transparency” in executive search - moderated by Edda Rettinger and discussed with leading CHROs.
According to the Federal Statistical Office, around 700,000 employees will retire by 2040. On the other hand, there will be around 230000 young workers joining the labour force. A vacuum is inevitable. To make matters worse, younger people tend to want to work less and change employers every two to three years on average. This will further intensify the battle for skilled labour. The time it takes to find a job (time to hire) is increasing and overall personnel costs are exploding. The consequences of unfilled positions are so that the issue is becoming a matter for the Board of Directors.
