How CEOs Can Address Time and Talent Concerns to Drive Value Creation

In this video, I share insights from my 40 years in HR, including 20 years of working directly with CEOs. Drawing from this extensive experience, I discuss the two primary concerns that CEOs face today: time and talent.

Key Points Covered:

- Time Pressure: CEOs are increasingly aware that markets and investors demand quick results. They need to demonstrate their ability to enhance company value and customer relevance swiftly.

- Talent Alignment: Ensuring the right talent is focused on the right priorities is crucial. CEOs worry about whether their HR teams are adequately supporting these goals.

- HR Challenges: Many CEOs feel underserved by their HR teams, not due to a lack of ability but because HR may not be focusing on the critical levers of performance the CEO needs.

Our Approach: We work with CEOs to:

- Condense Strategies: Simplify broad and ambitious strategies into focused plans targeting the few areas where 75-80% of the value resides.

- Identify Key Roles: Pinpoint the critical roles, often lower in the hierarchy, that are essential for value creation.

- Establish Clear Priorities: Help CEOs create clear lines of sight to where the most impactful work is happening, enabling better decision-making and involvement.

By addressing these concerns, we assist CEOs in creating a more efficient path to value creation, ensuring that the right talent is concentrated on the most impactful priorities. The result is better value creation and a shorter time to achieve it.
