LEADERSHIP CONSULTING

Naming the wrong successor could deal an expensive – or even fatal – blow to your business.

 

Using our 3x3 approach to succession planning, Stranberg will help you understand what your business needs before focusing on who is the best fit to fill executive roles.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH

Replacing a key member of your team can feel overwhelming – especially for the first time.

 

Whether you hire within the family or outside of it, Stranberg will find the ideal candidate that will last for years.

EXECUTIVE INTEGRATION

Onboarding a new executive without an integration plan can lead to misunderstandings and disagreements.

 

Our executive integration service will give you and your new leader a roadmap that ensures you are working in harmony toward shared goals.

We owe Stranberg a great deal of gratitude. Our work together was enough to push me over the edge to say it's time to start doing something different. What I value most is the relationship. I always feel that if I'm in trouble, I can call. I've got them on speed dial.

Stranberg’s work was really the catalyst that firmed up the foundation for where I am today and where I’m going over the next nine years. Bill surfaced elements that no one else had ever shared with me, and I’m still using the frameworks he gave me.

Stranberg anticipated the risks around readiness to embrace an outside leader from our very first meetings, and stayed detailed throughout. They surfaced multiple strong candidates, any of whom would have been a dramatic improvement.
