Abstract: Abstract The war cry continues despite the volatile economic cycle. Leadership will make or break you – this is not new news. And yet it is clear that so many firms struggle to gain any ground because they are unaware of their leader’s negative reputation for attracting talent, preparedness for battle or worse, both. And so often when all looks lost the solution is to hire an executive search firm that will revitalise your chances and bring you the choice of leadership you need. Does this sound familiar and was the end result, even if you did identify a “best athlete” to be CEO, the loss of more ground? Well as it’s not all the headhunters’ fault.
