Fact: People drive portfolio performance.
(How's that for alliteration?) Smart investors recognize that the success of their portfolio companies—and by extension, their fund—is in the hands of the people leading those portfolio companies.
It's unsurprising, then, that a survey of PE investors tells us that investors believe the most important factor that drives a successful exit is the quality of portfolio company leadership.
The problem is: research also tells us that many investors struggle to get the right leaders into the critical roles with consistency and confidence. And when they aren't able to do this, the cost is significant.
Good news is: there are some actionable ways for investors to hire well with more consistency and confidence.
And doing so starts with getting crystal-clear on what you need—and what you're assessing for—in a critical portfolio hire. This is foundational to making a high-quality hiring decision.
In this workshop, I'm going to share with you a simple approach for getting clear on what you need in your critical portfolio hires, so that you can make better hiring decisions, and generate value and returns faster.
