As founding members and firm partners look to sustain the legacy of their organizations and ensure long-term financial gains, the need to institutionalize the operation that they have systematically and tirelessly worked to build becomes a business imperative. Central to this effort is ensuring that there is a strong leadership bench in place and well-prepared executives to assume leadership control in the event of planned or unexpected departures. Tom works with firm partners to build an effective succession strategy that helps to ensure investments continue to deliver returns far beyond their exits, while the firm remains an attractive investment target with long-term organizational stability plans in place.
Once successors have been identified, Tom serves as an executive coach to guide their leadership development efforts and accelerate their readiness to take on expanded, higher-profile roles in the future. Qualitative 360 assessments combined with ongoing coaching provide executives with valuable insights into their performance in order to be fully prepared for future senior management roles. Tom also acts as an independent set of eyes to ensure key processes are repeatable and sustainable as leaders transition up and out of the organization.
