Accelerated Executive Effectiveness
RHR International Architects High-Impact Development Experiences to
Improve Executive Performance, Engage Leaders and Increase the
Readiness of Core Talent for Senior Management Roles.
The need for accelerated executive effectiveness is often brought into sharp focus by
major events in the course of a company’s life. The imminent departure of a key leader
brings urgency to the need and timing of management team succession planning. A new
CEO comes in with different agendas, philosophies and strategies, often requiring
executives to change how they operate. A reorganization or merger places new demands
on, or expands the scope of, senior leadership roles.
In today’s business environment, core talent should be strongly aligned with an
organization’s must-win battles. Ensuring that key individuals are ready and capable
to meet both current and future business requirements is a critical element of
long-term success. RHR’s Accelerated Executive Effectiveness practice engages a
broad base of stakeholders within the client organization to create a rigorous and
sustainable development program, customized to meet the unique leadership requirements
of each client’s situation.
A SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO PROCESS At
RHR, we base our approach on our belief that development works best when it is
systemic in focus. That means involvement of multiple constituents in the development
and feedback process, and thoughtful evaluation of needs within the business context
in which an executive operates.

The first step in effecting truly accelerated executive development is to accurately define
and assess the right leadership criteria, based on where the business is going. We develop
a business-linked winning formula that articulates the leadership and management behaviors
required to drive the business, and we utilize a multi-modal assessment process that
determines an executive’s strengths and needs. From there, we architect and implement a
customized development experience that moves individuals from the current to desired future
state. We create a Development Map to guide implementation, aligning the executive, managers
and HR business partners around actionable success criteria, tailored development experiences
and real-time progress checks.
Targeted, ROI-based measurement of progress is an important element of what we do in our
Accelerated Executive Effectiveness practice. RHR follow-up and progress tracking methods
include shadowing, coaching, stakeholderfeedback and periodic "pulse checks."
