Executive Search
.
Hiring your CEO is the most important role of a Board. It can take years for an organization to recover from the missteps and mismanagement that come with poor leadership selection. Finding leaders who have the experiences and skill set to develop, define and advance the organization's strategy, fit in with the organizational culture and build effective teams can be challenging. Our executive search services identify and attract these unique leaders, determine ideal organizational fit, and build appropriate frameworks for compensation and retention.
Enhancing Board Relations
Your ability to realize your organization's vision is through cohesive and collaborative board. Whether your team is struggling to connect or wants to elevate your skills to the next level, we can help you.
There are some Boards that are committed to building an effective governance team. Together we explore the distinctions between governance and management. We define the role of the board, move on to the performance expectations of the individual board member, and if appropriate focus on board member recruitment.
Other organizations just need an evaluation and minor adjustments in policies and practices. The adjustments can involve designing board meetings that pay attention to governance priorities. There are other times where focus on maximizing board member strengthens to develop a more effective team is the focus.
Regardless of your status, once our engagement is complete, your board, leadership team and staff will better understand the distinctions between management and governance.

Goal Setting
Effective governance is framed by the purpose for which an organization was created and is therefore concerned with activities of the highest-level including goal setting, policy development and monitoring progress toward and alignment with governance objectives. The consultants will assist the leadership team in identifying three to five goals which will become the focus of a long-range plan.
​
Once the goals have been established, an implementation plan for the accomplishment of the identified goals will be developed.
The implementation plan will include:
major objectives
specific tasks
timelines with target dates
needed resources,
individual or groups responsible for implementation
evaluation procedures
At the conclusion of the workshop, the leadership team will have identified long-range goals and have the foundation and structure of an implementation plan in place.
Developing an Inclusive Culture
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging is not a fad or trend. Maintaining a culture that promotes diversity and inclusion requires recognizing the value of all stakeholders. Not only do more diverse teams bring a wider perspective to the table, but they demonstrate an organization’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging which employees, clients, and prospects value.
Successful diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging programs all have two things in common: effective leadership, and a team operating with shared values, understanding, and commitment. We help our clients realize organizational objectives by building more diverse teams and inclusive cultures, and by understanding the nuances of diversity, both internally and externally. We customize our services to your team’s needs to ensure that your leadership and staff have the skills, structures, and strategy in place to a high-performance work culture of equality and respect.

"Ben Johnson was instrumental in helping our district find, vet and hire exactly the right Superintendent for our community. During the initial stages his knowledge and contacts were critical to sourcing potential candidates. His professionalism, patience and guidance during the evaluation and selection process was equally valuable. Our Board members have broad experience in hiring and personnel management, but finding the right superintendent is a sensitive process and the outcome is very impactful for a District. Our search and selection would never have gone as smoothly or been as effective had Ben not been leading the effort."

. I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Johnson and McPherson and Associates as a candidate for the Superintendent of Hemet Unified School District. Mr. Johnson provided guidance throughout the application process while working with the District to ensure that the District and I were a good fit. He continued to stay in touch throughout my first year as Superintendent to ensure I had the support needed in my new position. Mr. Johnson has a kind and caring manner. He is committed to pairing potential candidates with Districts that will grow their skills and expertise as the Superintendent and move the District in a forward direction.
