CMi for CEOs
CEOs are under increasing pressure to deal with new and complex demands from a growing variety of stakeholders. They must routinely make decisions on matters they have never experienced before, all under the pressure of 24/7 public scrutiny. In such high-stakes situations, CEOs benefit from the sage counsel of a highly experienced Mentor who has been there themselves.
Learn from those who have been there
Our Mentors offer timely, context-specific insight drawn from their own life experience. The choice of Mentor and the topics discussed are driven by the Mentee, affording an unparalleled level of personalisation which is highly relevant to each CEO.
Having sat in the hot seat as the CEO of large, global, complex organisations our Mentors help CEOs to make better decisions, fulfil stakeholder expectations, avoid costly mistakes and become the best leader they can be.
“They say that history repeats, but throughout your career you are often faced with ‘firsts’. Having two very experienced mentors has been invaluable for me when navigating unknown terrain from significant unplanned management changes while undergoing a CEO selection process, and starting up as a CEO. The mentoring process has provided me with important perspectives and above all an inner calmness and clarity to do what I think is right.”
CMi for CEO Succession
Planning for the next leader has long been one of a Board’s most important responsibilities. Without the right person at the top, even the best companies with the most innovative strategies will struggle.
Our leading CEO succession mentoring programme provides structured, personalised and confidential sessions with accomplished Chairs/former CEOs who have significant and real-life experience of leading large, complex businesses.
Deep Understanding
Having seen CEO succession processes from both sides of the table, our Mentors understand the challenges, pitfalls and pressures. Over the past 20 years we have worked with hundreds of CEO succession candidates from top companies all over the world.
Our Mentors provide support, stretch and challenge, helping candidates and organisations to maximise potential and mitigate risk.
