Leadership That Defines Legacy.

The High Stakes of a Leadership Decision: The Cost of Inaction
A passive approach to talent isn’t a cost-saving measure; it’s a significant and compounding drain on your resources, reputation, and momentum. The true cost of inaction is the biggest risk you’re not tracking, reverberating throughout your organization with far-reaching financial, productive, cultural, and reputational consequences.
For a senior executive, a single failed hire can lead to a staggering financial impact, potentially costing up to 27 times their annual salary when accounting for wasted compensation, lost productivity, and the direct costs of conducting a new search. This is why a strategic approach to executive talent is not merely an option, but a critical imperative.
