Skye Associates provides a wide range of leadership and management assessments to support leaders, leadership teams and new hires within an organization. Based on the specific needs of our clients, assessments may be incorporated into the design of our programs, whether leadership development, high performing team or individual executive coaching engagements.
Research continues to show that effective onboarding of leaders is critical to ensure their success*. Whether as new external hires or internal transfers / promotions.
- The ramp up time for new external hires can take 9 – 12 months, for internal transfers this time can still be six months or more
- 30% of leaders who join an organization fail to meet expectations in the first two years, 21% of executives making internal transfers fail to meet expectations in that same time period.
- The cost of a failed leader is estimated at 24 times base compensations, let alone the impact to individual reputations and future career progression.
By focusing on the outcome and business impact Skye Associates can recommend the right tool or assessment, to help you select the best talent for your organization, ensuring that the right people, either internally or externally are selected.
