Onboarding & Long-Term Follow-Up

What this service is

Onboarding & Long-Term Follow-Up protects a leadership decision before and after the hire.
It covers:

• candidate assessment during hiring
• structured onboarding
• follow-up as the company scales

The same criteria used to make the decision are used to validate it later.
Continuity is the point.

Why founders use it

Leadership hires rarely fail on day one.

They fail later — when pressure increases, priorities shift, and expectations drift. Not because of bad intent, but because growth changes the context.

Founders use this service to surface issues early, while they are still fixable.

What problem it solves

This service prevents:

• decisions made with incomplete signal
• ambition drifting out of sync
• promises made during hiring quietly disappearing

This is not performance management.
It is early alignment and early correction.

How the work is done

During hiring
We assess shortlisted candidates using the same criteria applied in Leadership Assessment, when one has been performed.

During onboarding and follow-up
We stay involved through check-ins at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to:

• confirm expectations still match reality
• check how authority is exercised
• surface early friction
• verify follow-through on agreed development or support

The cadence reflects how pressure evolves in the first year.

When this service is typically used

• After a critical leadership hire
• When a role carries real authority
• When founder involvement is intentionally reduced
• When late correction would be costly

What you get

Founders gain:

• stronger final hiring decisions
• early visibility into misalignment
• fewer silent conflicts
• higher likelihood the hire actually sticks

Leadership failures rarely announce themselves.
They erode quietly.

How this fits with our other services

This service closes the loop.
It reinforces:

• Leadership Assessment, by applying the same criteria during hiring
• Exclusive Leadership Hiring, by protecting the decision over time

This is where leadership decisions are proven.
