Evolving leadership expectations

Our clients want to know what to look for in their current and future leaders and how this may evolve in the future.

Client Success Story

Leadership Assessment in action

A global technology-products business reached out to Heidrick & Struggles to assess a handful of top leaders as the firm went through a major strategy shift. As requested, we created an assessment solution rooted in the deep data of the Heidrick Leadership Framework but built around their business imperatives and unique leadership language in a way that helped them understand the target leaders’ capabilities and development areas as they were transitioning to the new strategy.

Seeing the value and power of our assessment frameworks and reports, the client engaged us for a digital assessment of nearly 500 rising in-house leaders, using the same frameworks but normed to a younger cohort. The results spoke for themselves: the client used the assessment findings to retain and develop a significantly greater proportion of high-performers than in the past, establish clear succession plans, and fully understand the talent they had in-house and any leadership gaps to fill for the future.
