The Crucial Leadership Gap
A single misstep in executive selection can trigger a devastating domino effect throughout an organization. Our extensive work with Fortune 500 companies has revealed a concerning pattern—but we've also uncovered a transformative solution.
1
The Wake-Up Call
A prominent APAC manufacturing firm discovered this the hard way. "We thought the internal candidate was ready," their HR leader confessed, "but within months, we realized the cultural misalignment was wreaking havoc on team morale."
2
Traditional Methods Fall Short
Resumes, interviews, and gut instincts prove insufficient as leadership demands evolve. For our manufacturing client, this led to delayed product launches and market share risks. "It's not just about hiring someone capable," their COO admitted, "it's about hiring someone who fits."

The Data Tells the Story
According to LYC Partners' data, 42% of executives leave within 18 months due to cultural misalignment. A global healthcare company learned this lesson when their qualified CFO's arrival led to departmental silos and declining engagement.

Critical Insight
Leadership candidates must be mapped against cultural and organizational values, not just technical expertise. Misalignment can cost millions—not just in dollars, but in lost opportunities.
