What is the HRM Strategic Leadership Division?

We offer simple and swift solutions to complex succession issues and leadership transition challenges to successful executives and professionals who want a healthy performance culture that is sustainable.

Why? Three compelling needs inspired the creation of HRM Strategic Leadership Division.

1) Simpler Succession: The world of work is turning upside down as Baby Boomer executives move on to retirement or re-career and the next generation’s managers move in to key leadership positions.

2) Active Engagement: Organizations are struggling to effectively implement key strategic initiatives and getting diverse people fully engaged during this workplace shift.

3) Balanced Facilitation: The days of “the expert consultant with one answer, a flip chart and death by power point” are seeing their last. Today people want to be an iatrical part of inventing the best solutions.

How?

Simpler Succession Solution: A Sustainable Leadership Strategy

This solution is comprised of four projects combined with ongoing process for sustainability.

Project 1 – Emergency Succession ensures that key leadership and administrative functions continue without disruption in the event of an unplanned, temporary absence of a CEO, Managing Partner or Officer.

Project 2 – Departure-defined Succession is recommended when a long-term leader has announced their departure date two or more years in advance. It includes identifying the key goals going forward; determining the tools and skill set a successor will need to achieve those goals; significant attention is given to building the capacity of the board, managers, and systems to beyond the current executive’s tenure.

Project 3 – Strategic Leader Development is an ongoing practice of defining an organization’s strategic vision, identifying the leadership and managerial skills necessary to carry out that vision, and recruiting and developing talented individuals who have or who can develop those skill and attributes.

Project 4 – New Executive Assimilation is structured consulting and coaching for a new recruit or internally promoted executive to begin well – on a fast track with their new team on-the-same-page.

Customizable: HRM’s Strategic Leadership initiatives can be a stand-alone project or linked together as a comprehensive sustainable system for managing organization succession challenges and building next generation leadership capacity.
