Executive Eye-Opener 4Q22

Welcome


Ten months into 2022, we find ourselves operating and navigating through not only the COVID continuum, rising interest rates, higher inflation and enduring supply chain challenges, but also the war in Ukraine, recessionary fears, and the November mid-term elections.


Despite the current uncertainty and waves of change present as we close out the year, BroadView Talent remains squarely focused on the unmistakable and ever-present truth about leadership.


To start, a CEO absolutely must have superior communication and influencing capabilities, and trends exist within the ranks of leaders who embrace these skills. Identifying and embracing the top five communication skills exhibited by top leaders can inspire focus, boost culture, deepen trust and instill a sense of oneness within your organization. 


Regardless of what skills you are seeking in your organization's next leader, no longer will you encounter leaders who readily extend tenures beyond ten years. We examine how over the next five-to-ten years, X-Gen and Millennial executive leadership turnover and transition rates will occur at breakneck speeds compared to their Baby Boomer predecessors.


As the weather cools and the leaves turn, we hope you take a moment to appreciate the opportunities that change brings, even if that means adapting your strategic planning, governance and succession management initiatives accordingly. Ultimately, this is a goal that can help you attract, retain and maximize leadership within your organization.


Best Regards,

Tracy McMillan, CEO & Managing Partner

5 Communication Skills Exhibited by Top Leaders

One of our core beliefs about leaders is this: Every leader is not expected to have it all, but they must have a preponderance of it all and they must be able to lead it all. Any gaps or blind spots that he/she/they have must be ably or mightily filled by one of their current or prospective direct reports to mitigate and minimize organizational risk.


There is one corollary to this rule: A CEO absolutely must have superior communication and influencing capabilities.


In fact, our clients have become increasingly more concerned about how CEO candidates both communicate and influence. That’s because the need for excellent communication skills has only become more acute given the remote work environment and other workforce paradigm shifts we have witnessed since March of 2020.


Board Directors and top-leaders know and understand that superior communication skills — both written and verbal — are endemic to enduring influence and success.

A Brave New World: Shrinking Leadership Tenures

Like it or not, there’s a new leadership reality coming. The post-pandemic period has brought permanent changes and challenges to the U.S. workforce, including condensed CEO leadership tenures. For boards and executive leadership teams, the time to prepare is now.


Baby Boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, continue to retire in record numbers. They are being replaced by talented, energetic, innovative and dynamic X-Gens (born 1965-1980) and experienced Millennials (born 1981-1996).


These new cohorts will naturally give you three-to-five years of leadership, readily stay for five-to-seven years, and optimistically may endure for only seven-to-ten years.

You heard me right. No longer will organizations encounter leaders who readily extend tenures beyond ten years.
