Our group of 80+ Operating Partners and Executives consists
of successful CEOs, Presidents, COOs, CFOs and Operational
Leaders in their field. Each Forte Executive has spent an
average of 25+ years in C-level positions – they are not
consultants, they are operators.
Why Forte Executives are Unique
Over the years we have vetted hundreds of high caliber
people and have identified the key skills and personality
attributes necessary to succeed – every time. Our talent
managers accept only a very small percentage of the C-level
people we interview into the group. Our commitment to
maintaining this caliber of people provides our clients with
several advantages over hiring permanent management to
implement change:
- Speed: We bring the right people in quickly. Very
few companies can afford to spend months recruiting a
key executive and/or to take the risk that he or she
isn’t a right fit and the search begins anew.
- The Right Skills to Implement Change: Different
business cycles require different types of leadership.
Often, the person most qualified to implement change is
different than the one most qualified to maintain
momentum. Our Business Assessment unearths those needs
and optimizes each role.
- Cost: The cost of a ForteONE Operating Partner and
Executives is usually less than the fully loaded cost of
a permanent hire. Plus, hiring mistakes cost serious
money and valuable time.
- Did You Know: In Topgrading, the widely
regarded tome on hiring well, Bradford D. Smart, Ph.D.
cites studies calculating “the average cost of mis-hiring
is fifteen times base salary.”
One of the keys to our success is matching teams to our
clients’ needs, whether that is in an advisory role to work
with owners in developing strategy for sustainability and
growth, or in an interim leadership role to address complex,
time-sensitive problems that require rapid results.
