Comprehensive
Performance Review
Process
No CEO, president or chancellor should be surprised to find that a board is unhappy with his or her performance. Yet, without a comprehensive performance review process, all too often feedback comes too late for the leader to make a course correction. Instead, the leader’s performance derails, the board or CEO is unhappy and relationships are damaged beyond repair. At significant cost, another cycle of searching for the “right leadership fit” begins, scarce resources are used and the institution experiences a leadership upheaval and a period of instability.
Formal comprehensive reviews are a strategic imperative, not an optional “feel good event.” Dr. Kaufman brings to the table 30 years of experience in developing performance criteria, assessing leadership performance and helping executives better understand their strengths, development needs and necessary course corrections.
