Each leadership role is unique. A fundamental truth that is frequently overlooked in succession planning. Unconscious biases, including stereotyping, subjectivity, and shortcutting, often lead boards to conclusions that may not be optimal for the future success of the organization.

Utilizing this information to establish the criteria for CEO success is key to making the leadership selection right, while avoiding all (human) noise. MU has pioneered an unrivalled science-based approach to leader succession and selection. We can prove we get it right more than 90% of the time.
