Geoffrey, care to chime in?
Thank you for the reply - I have a high respect for Geoffrey and have reviewed his comments on this platform regarding factors for success. He is clear. I'm looking to understand the experience of the consultant working on his team at a more granular level than what is presented on the company website. Thank you.
Please DM me and I’m happy to connect you with a relevant person in our Principal role so you can learn more. Glad your research on ghSMART and experience from the client side was positive! There’s not really a firm like it. Enjoy more day to day impact than MBB, same or better comp, with way more control over your working hours (WFA, WLB tippy tops), and everybody is nice and if they are not they get exited. Culture makes it not a grind to spend 20 years here. Anyway I can go on and on as you all know. 🤣😂
I'm happy to add on to Geoff's comments to share more color about the day-to-day as a Leadership Advisor at ghSMART. I'm sure you have read about all our different offerings on our website, but I'll try to simplify that into how it would actually feel working here. In general, most of my time is spent doing two types of activities: leadership assessment and leadership development. Leadership assessment is when a company is looking for a new executive and we help support them in that decision. This usually involves spending time with the client to understand their needs, leading an in-depth career conversation with the candidate, conducting thorough analysis to develop a clear picture for the individual's leadership profile, and then debriefing with the client, sharing our insights. A lot of the assessment work is independent, but we always work with another peer to help calibrate the answer, so there is always an element of teaming. The developmental work can involve some of the same day-to-day, but with the goal of coaching and developing talent vs. hiring for a new position. When you do developmental work, you will spend more time coaching the leaders and helping them think through the development plans. Some of the developmental work could be one-off--e.g., a client is looking for support and coaching for a particular exec, or it could be part of a broader project, say working with three ghSMART colleagues to support all 8 executives at a given company. In the latter case, you would be doing a lot of collaboration with the client, the leaders you support, as well as with your colleagues. That's the high-level gist, but happy to share more if helpful!
@ghSMART
The core work is leadership assessment-based, either for executive hiring or development. However, once you’re about 12 months into the organization, you can build out your portfolio the way you want it. For some people, that’s lots of assessments - for others, it’s development work or coaching.
