Executive Evaluation
How well positioned is your leadership team?
STRENGTHS. WEAKNESSES. PERFORMANCE.
The executive evaluation tool is a neutral appraisal of external experts, with which it can be shown whether the individual manager or management teams are suitable and equipped to cope with current and, above all, future tasks. Among other things, it is clarified whether the management is capable to achieve the strategic goals of the company against the background of changing conditions in terms of training, experience and personality.

CAPABILITIES ON THE TEST BENCH
The tools of executive evaluation can be used to answer questions such as
- Is the management team able to develop and implement corporate strategies that ensure the long-term viability of the company?
- Is the interaction in the management team value-driven and goal-oriented or is it burdened by counterproductive, non-factual friction?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses in leadership and leadership behavior?
- What further development and training needs do the managers have?
