Global Board & CEO Practice

 

Every leadership decision — a board appointment, the selection of a CEO or a plan to drive the performance of a leadership team — has the potential to be the critical moment of difference for you, your team and your organization. That’s why, at Spencer Stuart, we treat each one with equal passion, and measure ourselves against only one metric: the one that matters most for you.

For nearly 70 years, we’ve supported boards and CEOs in their defining moments ― career success, business transformation, industry disruption, emerging from crisis ― and across different contexts, including public and privately held companies, founder-led businesses and restructurings.

How we enable your success


Identifying and selecting your next CEO with confidence

We provide advice, counsel, coaching and executive development to support best practice long-term succession planning, medium-term orderly CEO succession and CEO recruitment.

Accelerating CEO performance and development

The first 12 months of a CEO’s tenure can catalyze the transformation of the business, or it can be “when it all started to go wrong.” Our CEO Performance Acceleration program helps your new CEO build a successful platform in the pivotal first year. We also work with CEOs across the CEO Life Cycle to drive long-term performance.

Enhancing board composition

With our unparalleled access to and knowledge of the experienced and director-ready candidate pool, we place outstanding non-executive chairs and directors with the technical expertise, diversity of lived experience and future-ready skills to add value to the boards they join.

Developing a highly effective board

As a long-term strategic partner to boards around the world, we help you take governance to the next level. We help you identify and remove obstacles to better board performance in your specific governance context, including enhanced scrutiny from activist investors.

This experience gives us a unique combination of access to the best leaders, deep pattern recognition and rigorous research-based insights to understand true leadership performance potential: How they show up in the context of their team, key leadership moments and throughout their tenure.

As leadership performance partners, we apply this expertise to help boards and CEOs navigate their highest-stakes leadership decisions with confidence, and ensure those decisions made today deliver enduring results well past tomorrow.
