🔍 How do you recognise the right leader for your organisation? Not with a checklist but by truly understanding who someone is, and what they can mean in your specific context. At Schelstraete Delacourt, every assessment starts with a deep understanding of your organisation: its culture, ambitions, and the challenges that often come with change, growth or entrepreneurship. 📊 We assess leaders from different angles: self-development, interpersonal impact, drive, and strategic-conceptual thinking. This allows us to build a balanced picture of someone’s strengths, growth potential, and possible limitations. 🎯 We don’t just evaluate. We provide clear, nuanced advice. Development is our starting point: where can someone make a difference, what do they need to grow, and what might hold them back? Always with respect for the career someone has built so far. 🚀 Our goal? Having the right leader in the right place, ready to make the difference. #Leadersmakethedifference #SchelstraeteDelacourt #BoardSearch #BoardAudit #ExecutiveSearch #ExecutiveAssessment #Advisory
