Leadership Development, Transition, & Training

Talent Assessment and Development

KLC offers our clients and business partners a range of Talent Assessment and Talent Development Services. We are management consultants and executive/performance coaches who are certified in Hogan Assessment Systems, a global standard in predicating performance and helping companies to identify and grow high potential talent.

Our Talent Assessment and Development Services focus on four areas:

1. Internal Candidates
   1. Promotion
   2. Transfer to a new geographic area
   3. Transfer to a new role (i.e. from a non-sales position to a sales position, from a clinical or technical role to a management role)
   4. Succession planning
2. External Candidates
   1. Permanent placements
   2. Interim management
3. Protirement (i.e. outplacement support for early retirement or workforce reduction)
4. Job Integration Support and Skills Development for selected individuals

Whether for use with internal candidates, candidates hired from outside the organization or by organizations working with employees to develop protirement options, comprehensive and valid assessment for suitability and readiness is a competitive advantage. Itis a preventative measure for the real probability of unsuccessful candidate promotion and hiring and placement decisions, especially considering the high costs associated with them. Lastly, it is an important employee benefit for protirement planning.

Understanding business personality is important for business success. Many of the reasons professionals, especially leaders fail are personality based, such as,

• Inability to adapt to the demands of a new position
• Inability to think strategically
• Inability to develop good working relationships with key stakeholders and staff
• Inability to execute plans and drive change
• Inability to tolerate stress, change or risk-adverse

We help reduce the guessing game and risk, and increase the likelihood of the right candidate identification and selection. We do this through a personal, private, low-stress and customized approach.

Questions we often hear are: What is executive / performance coaching? What can I expect? How can it help me and my organization? If you have these questions, you are not alone.

It is motivational and participatory by design and is highly personalized and interactive so as to address the specific issues relevant to your situation.
