A trailblazing approach to choosing executives who both match theneeds and fit the cultures of the organizations they willlead
Leadership failures damage or even destroy companies every day. Toreduce the costs of leadership failure, the author has developed arevolutionary process for selecting executives based on his yearsof consulting for some of America's largest corporations. The RightLeader details this new approach and how it eliminates theleadership failures that plague so many companies around the worldtoday. When executives don't address the right needs, or can't leadthe organization because of a poor fit with the corporation'scultures, the company loses competitive advantage, talented people,and momentum. The Right Leader introduces the revolutionaryMatch-Fit Model and explains how it reduces the risks and costs ofexecutive failure by changing the factors that are considered andby taking into account the cultural dynamics at play in anyorganization.
