Diversity Management
Egon Zehnder International - Sep 20, 2008
Today, diversity is a topic that is much broader than efforts from yesteryear to be in compliance with anti-discrimination laws and regulations. Workplace diversity now focuses on creativity and creating competitive advantage. More and more businesses are making diversity an integral part of their strategy. When making executive appointments they deliberately target specific populations that are underrepresented on the management team.

Building a Pipeline
Egon Zehnder International - Sep 20, 2008
The bad news is that the average CEO falls well short of delivering a level of leadership development that would build a talent pipeline. The good news is that more and more CEOs are questioning their organisation’s approach in this field. In the experience of Egon Zehnder International, one way of successfully developing the next leadership cohort is through structured exposure to selected challenging business experiences. Pursued with the involvement of top management, such leadership development initiatives deliver substantial financial benefits.

Building a Talent Brand
Egon Zehnder International - Sep 20, 2008
In today’s complex and dynamic business environment, companies are competing more fiercely for talent than they are for market share. Talent is perhaps the only remaining sustainable competitive advantage in a globalized economy where financial capital and technology flow freely.

Senior Appointments
Egon Zehnder International - Sep 20, 2008
Successful recruitment practices at senior management level are the hallmark of a topflight company. The best executives will display a higher order of performance than their peers. Companies that are able to identify and attract the best qualified individuals will therefore have a considerable advantage in the global marketplace. A set of best practices can help avoid the many common pitfalls.

The Secret Key to Success
Egon Zehnder International - Sep 20, 2008
Educating for great people decisions will become a major imperative for any manager who seriously wants to boost organizational performance as well as his or her own chances of career success. However, most managers are largely unaware of the crucial importance of these decisions and invest very little time and effort in developing their skill in this critical area.
