Whena new top executive doesn't fulfill the expect-ations of the board or owners who chose them, it costs companies a bundle--in terms of severance packages, replacement costs, lost market capitalization, stock price volatility, bad decision-making, organizational inefficiencies, and the loss of confidence that turnover often engenders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToday's excessively high rate of executive failure--reliable surveys estimate that up to forty percent of all new leaders fail within eighteen months--costs the business community dearly and proves the old executive hiring model is flawed. In The Right Leader, Nat Stoddard and Claire Wyckoff present a revolutionary process for stemming the tide of executive turnover and making sure companies find the right fit in a leader.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new model, the Match-Fit Model, fits thepieces of the selection puzzle together in an entirely new way. While the traditional selectionprocess focuses almost exclusively on a candi-date's abilities, it fails to account for the substance of the candidate's character, particularly the values, beliefs, and personal philosophies that drive behavior. Nor does the traditional process effectively explain the hiring company's real needs and, most importantly, the cultures through which results must be delivered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Match-Fit Model closes that gap with a modern examination of the way leaders relate to organizations and new, real-world selection criteria that the traditional model lacks. It gives anyone involved in executive selection the tools they need to determine whether and how well a candidate's abilities, personality, energy, and character align with the company's real needs and cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor any business, finding the right leader is a matter of vital importance. Finally, there's aproven, systematic method for selecting leaders that takes into account more than just their traits--a way to measure and define their compatibility with the company's cultures. If you want to match your company with a qualified leader who shares the values and understands the culture of your business, The Right Leader is the ultimate guide to a perfect hire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor more information, visit www.therightleader.com.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45153966063767,"sku":"9780470344507","price":2179.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780470344507.webp?v=1767299477","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-right-leader-selecting-executives-who-fit-9780470344507","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
