| Building an effective Board demands more than relying on the referral networks of the current board members. Today, defining and attracting the appropriate caliber of business governance and leadership requires a committed, targeted, and insightful search process employing well-defined criteria and the benefits of professional counsel.
Jefferson Partners recognizes the central importance of new Board appointments and develops a thoughtful and analytical approach to each client project. This includes a detailed search strategy crafted after an upfront diagnostic phase. Once we have arrived at common agreement and an Ideal Director Candidate profile, we follow through with steady, yet sensitive, senior search execution.
Finding outside directors whose experience and schedules are compatible with the demands of a specific board can be difficult. Individuals who possess the necessary qualities are not common commodities. The pool of talent is small and those who are readily visible, such as current chairmen and chief executives, often already hold numerous directorships.
Jefferson Partners' ongoing work of recruiting high-performance leaders for clients, especially in the US, puts us in routine contact with the best pool of tomorrow's business and financial leaders.
