Trust International offices see Executive Search as their core business: identifying,
evaluating, recommending and attracting the best qualified candidates for clearly
defined executive positions. In
addition, most offices have developed services addressing specific Board and CEO
issues : Directors replacement, top managers assessment, succession planning,
Board of Directors performance assessment, Executive Committee assessment, compensation
benchmarking, and executive coaching. The
challenge is to help Boards and CEOs make timely decisions regarding human capital
and its management whenever it is vital for their company (changes in strategy
or in management, mergers or acquisitions, dramatic changes in economic environment...). In
order to support efficiently the expansion of these services, Leaders Trust International
has created and developed a cross-borders Board practice teaming up its most senior
Consultants.
Non
Executive Directors Search
In
the past, outside Board Directors appointments were often done using the "old
boy’s network" approach. In
recent years corporate governance has received higher priority as a strategic
resource to ensure excellent standards in the leadership of a corporation. Codes
of best practice and corporate ethics have been developed and implemented. Nomination
committees are increasingly using the services of Executive Search Consultants
to identify, select and attract best qualified professionals for Boards. Therefore,
non executive independent Directors are now very often selected through a formal
approval process to ensure their independence and avoid potential conflicts of
interest. Leaders
Trust International has many years of experience in assisting and counseling the
leadership of corporations in this particular process. |
Board
Review Having
a balanced composition of your Board of Directors is not sufficient to ensure
the expected corporate governance behavior against the current global standards. Many
recent crisis or scandals happened although the companies involved were apparently
managed by prestigious Boards and Executive teams. Indeed,
the working process and the quality of the relationship among the governance bodies
of the companies are nowadays more and more under scrutiny by all shareholders.
Many reports and regulations, in a variety of important countries, lead to a regular
evaluation of Board activity. Leaders
Trust International Board Review services can help our clients assess and improve
their process and practice in this field. Based
on Directors interviews and a specific method, Board Review addresses organization
as well as information and cultural aspects of Boards and Executive Team working
relationships. Board
Review reports to the Chairman and to the Board suggest guidelines designed to
align our clients corporate governance with the best standards taking into account
the specific constraints of their activity and shareholding structure. |
