CEO, Board and Executive Team Development

Leader Assessment and Devolopment
CEO Selection and Integration

The most important decision a company makes is selecting the CEO. This person sets the tone and direction and models values and behavior for all internal and external stakeholders. Many complex variables impact selection, such as the desired business and leadership experience and the intellectual, social, and psychological factors sought after in the individual. Opus Leadership Group helps companies identify and arrive at consensus regarding the required criteria for CEO candidates. We help narrow applicants down to finalists, conduct in-depth assessments and provide feedback, subsequently helping the board during its interview process and during its deliberation and decision-making process.

Our services may include:

Board Development

Opus Leadership Group advises the board on how to more effectively hold the CEO accountable, assist in his/her growth, and provide overall strategic direction. We work with selected board members, as well as the entire group, to better manage and direct the board itself, the CEO, and the organization for which they are responsible. Helping boards leverage and develop their strengths will better position them to contribute to the company’s overall strategic success.

Additionally, a well functioning board with heterogeneous backgrounds is critical to continual organizational growth and successful business outcomes. Generally, the most effective boards are composed of individuals with different perspectives, experiences, and expertise, thus enabling them to provide viewpoints with breadth and depth. While divergent points of view are extremely valuable, they also need to be managed so that internal conflicts over roles, strategies, compensation, or accountabilities do not escalate into subtle or overt conflict, thereby compromising the entire organization. Opus Leadership Group is experienced in successfully helping boards select and on-board members and constructively manage a desirable level of conflict and diversity.

Executive Team Development

Similar to an organization’s board and CEO, the senior or executive team exercises tremendous influence on the entire organization, making their example and performance critical to success. Among the numerous complex pressures senior leaders must contend with, none is greater than their willingness and skill to place their highest priority on what is best for the entire entity above their particular functional responsibilities. Opus Leadership Group will conduct an in-depth assessment of the executive team and then provide feedback and specific recommendations to help the team reach its next level of performance.
