Research

To hire a successful candidate, institutions must identify the qualities and skills they seek. This is often more difficult than it seems. Leaders and committees often begin a search without having conducted a systematic inventory of what has required in the past, what is imagined to be required in the future, and the ways in which such skills can be evaluated. NLG can help by conducting confidential interviews, asking provocative questions, and creating a model that delineates technical, administrative, and interpersonal leadership requirements, with ways of measuring each. The resulting competency model guides the search and provides the committee with an objective "anchor" that can balance individual/subjective impressions and reactions to candidates.

In addition, we can assist your organization in maximizing its recruitment of leaders by conducting a comprehensive review of your current recruitment practices and recommending changes based on prevailing best practices.
