  1. Selecting and on-boarding Leaders Jon Lurie 12 May 2011

  2. Something about me • I am a Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the BPS • I have been a management consultant for the past 20 years • I was a partner in a strategy consulting firm prior to setting up Jon Lurie Associates two years ago • I have a particular interest in individual and team assessment and development and am intrigued by why organisations consistently fail in this area (sometimes spectacularly)

  3. Methodology for the research • Extensive desk research • Reviewing literature to identify good practice • Detailed interviews with: • Academics, including Professors from UCL, Insead and IMD • Recruitment firms and assessment providers • Many organisations, including Standard Chartered Bank, Shell, Visa and Santander • My own experiences

  4. Key findings • Assessment should not take place in isolation • It is about assessment, fit and integration • Despite increased sophistication in assessment, results have not improved as we would have hoped • Not all experts agree why and what should be done • Common reasons exist for failure • Not being clear about what success will look like • Not understanding how to work within the context and culture • Not managing key stakeholders, particularly one’s boss • There are things which can be done to improve performance and this report highlights some of them

  5. Questions for further discussion • Has the role of leadership really changed and if so how? • What is the real value of psychometrics and how should they be used? • What is the real value of an external assessment process and how should it be used? • What should be done to strengthen the link between assessment, fit and integration? • What does a great assessment and on-boarding process look like?
