Executive & Board Appointments

The right people for C-suite and senior leadership roles.

We specialise in identifying and appointing high-impact C-suite executives and board members who drive business success, enhance governance, and align with your organisation’s strategic vision.

Building High-Impact Executive Teams

The foundation of our executive search process is to identify and appoint exceptional leaders—visionary individuals who drive business success, strengthen corporate governance, and shape organisational culture. At Adderleys, we understand that securing "The Right People" at the executive level is critical to long-term growth. Our approach ensures that every leader we place aligns with your strategic goals, inspires teams, and navigates complex business landscapes with confidence and agility.

The Power of Self-Awareness in Leadership

A key component of our methodology is the Self-Awareness Questionnaire, an advanced assessment tool that goes beyond technical skills. This unique evaluation delves into:

  • The questionnaire gathers detailed insights into a candidate’s career trajectory, including previous roles, leadership experience, and key achievements.

  • A skills scoring system (1-10 scale) evaluates leadership traits like emotional intelligence, resilience, decision-making, adaptability, and strategic thinking. This provides a measurable leadership profile rather than relying solely on qualitative assessment.

  • Personal statements and core competencies sections help gauge leadership philosophy, cultural alignment, and career motivations, ensuring a deeper understanding of a candidate’s long-term potential.

  • Core leadership traits such as business acumen, innovation, results orientation, and integrity are assessed in a structured manner, aligning with modern leadership expectations.

  • Candidates provide insights into their key performance indicators (KPIs) in both their current and potential roles, allowing for a performance-driven assessment of leadership effectiveness.

  • The inclusion of company culture preference, management philosophy, and work environment suitability ensures candidates align with your client’s strategic and cultural goals.
