Recently, I've had the opportunity to engage with several SMB leaders who have adopted Gino Wickman's Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). Incorporating the EOS system into an executive search strategy presents a forward-thinking approach that redefines leadership recruitment for growth-focused companies. It's about leveraging The Five Leadership Abilities™—simplifying, delegating, predicting, systemizing, and structuring—not merely as concepts but as actionable strategies that fundamentally enhance the identification of transformative leaders. Choosing a firm like Headwaters Search, which understands the intrinsic value of these principles, means partnering with experts who are not just searching for candidates but are deeply committed to finding leaders who align with the company's core values. The GWC framework—Gets It, Wants It, and Capacity to Do It—underscores this strategy by prioritizing a holistic understanding of a candidate's fit. This methodology seeks individuals who resonate with a company's vision, are motivated by the role, and possess the innate ability to actualize these ambitions. It's about finding leaders who are not just qualified but are passionately aligned and ready to propel a company forward. Adopting this approach offers a compelling advantage: it ensures that the search process is not just about filling a vacancy but about forging a pathway for transformation and growth. It champions the recruitment of leaders who are in tune with an organization's core values and energized by the prospect of driving change within the framework of EOS. For businesses contemplating the next step in their evolution, selecting a search firm that embodies these values and methods can be a pivotal decision. It represents a commitment to sustain and significantly elevate their leadership impact, setting the stage for sustained success and innovation.

Leadership is the key to sustained #value creation. But according to AlixPartners, the PE industry is not taking steps to produce sustained leadership excellence. Hunt Scanlon Ventures managing director, Drew Seaman, takes a look at why #PE still manages #talent in transactional ways. “Today, the PE industry manages talent in transactional ways,” said Clark Perry, partner, transformative leadership at AlixPartners. “There is a critical need for PE firms and portcos to work together to develop stronger change capabilities – tactically and strategically, technically, and culturally,” he said. Significant areas of misalignment between PE firms and portcos, he added, “create conflicting leadership agendas that could derail value-creation plans.” Read more >> https://lnkd.in/evEbTBjP
