The 5 stages of executive hiring grief [and the 10 steps to avoid them]
It's interesting that there are lots of books, articles, and blog posts written about what candidates should do when interviewing. However, there are many fewer that are directed at the other side of the desk--the company hiring and the executive interviewer. There is little more frustrating than finding a super-star candidate, and then having them slip off the hook and end up at a competitor. We recently finished 3 searches in under 75 days. The only way this happened was because of both deep cooperation and coordination between the search firm and the client as well as tight coordination internally within the client company itself, encouraging both interview quality and speed.

Global Perspective on Board Diversity
Much has been written in the media in recent times about the need for corporate boards to diversify, especially in relation to female representation.
Today, directors are operating not only in a new environment, but one that is also changing at a pace unlike that which has been experienced in the past. Shareholders, regulators, and stakeholders have greater influence on the boardroom and customers have more purchasing power than ever before. Delivering an outstanding customer experience in this new and developing digital era has become a strategic imperative.
To understand how corporate boards are being structured to deal with these new challenges, TINZON GROUP, a global alliance of international Executive Search firms, recently undertook a comprehensive survey into the age and gender of executive and nonexecutive board members of publicly listed companies within its 10 member countries.
Almost 2,000 Directors in over 180 publicly listed companies took part in the study. One of our aims was to evaluate (on a global basis) what differences exist between the boards of companies in the Americas, Asia/Pacific and EMEA and what lessons could be learned.

The Neurological Premise For High Performance
High performance is a concept that holds various definitions, of which “a performance that exceeds an expected norm” is one. However, at Albright Partners we prefer to define high performance as “a sustainable series of performances at a level that exceeds what most people consider normal or average and that elevates the average or mean performance level”.
