The Strategic Investment
Moving beyond cost to understand the quantifiable value of your most critical hires.
The Compounding Cost of a Single Bad Hire
A failed executive hire isn’t a single event; it’s a cascading failure with financial, cultural, and strategic consequences that can impact an organization for years. Understanding this true, multi-layered cost is the first step in making a smarter talent investment.
Direct Financial Loss
Includes wasted salary, bonuses, benefits, severance, and the cost of a replacement search. This alone can reach 2.5x the leader’s annual salary.
Productivity & Opportunity
Stalled projects, decision-making bottlenecks, and missed market windows while a key role is vacant or filled by an ineffective leader.
Cultural & Morale Damage
An erosion of trust and team cohesion, leading to disengagement and higher turnover among your top-performing employees.
Reputational Harm
Damaged relationships with customers, investors, and strategic partners, tarnishing a brand reputation that took decades to build.
