How we approach it
The person reports to the board or chief executive and holds the accountabilities of the role.
We agree the mandate, measures and exit at the start.
Handover to the permanent appointment is part of the engagement, not an afterthought.
Common questions
- Is Insprie a recruitment agency?
- No. We place people we know and stand behind, and we remain accountable for the outcome of the engagement.
- The business has outgrown its leadership structure.
What gets a company from $1 million to $10 million is not necessarily what gets it from $10 million to $50 million.
- When the board becomes part of the problem.
A struggling business does not always have an operating problem. Sometimes the problem is sitting around the board table.
