Despite the huge impact executives can have on their organizations, failure rates remain high.
Prescriptions for what to do continue to fall short.
So we wondered: If we closely studied the executives who succeed in top jobs once appointed, could we identify distinguishing features that set them apart and defined their success?
The answer, is yes!
Ann Zaslow-Rethaber's insight:
Intriguing research from Harvard, reporting data from an intensive 10 year study, brings us some valuable information.
Turns out that there are 4 very consistent patterns that distinguished exceptional executives from all others.
What separated the “best of the best” from everyone else is a consistent display of mastery across four highly correlated dimensions, while “good” executives may have only excelled in two or three.
Leaders who have invested in learning how to excel in all 4 areas consistently outperformed all others, by a large margin.
Curious what these 4 very unique skill sets are?

All of us have heard this statement at some point, and it turns out to be true. A recent Gallup survey showed that just over 50% of employees who have quit their job have done so to get away from their bosses. Another study, concluded in 2016, put the number right at 75%. That's a lot.
Ann Zaslow-Rethaber's insight:
Intriguing data suggests that between 50% and 75% of people that quit their jobs, choose to leave their position primarily because of their direct supervisor.
People are not choosing to quit because of the company product or services, corporate culture, , not because of their comp plan, lack of career path, poor benefit package, not because of their work environment, not the commute, travel schedule, but overwhelming, the number one reason people choose to jump ship, is specifically, because of their boss.
If you are in a leadership role, this is valuable information.

We get it, finding a mentor can be difficult and time-consuming. But when you do find one (or two), they can save you from making costly mistakes that can set you back in your career. Simply put, having a mentor will improve the quality of your decisions and provide opportunities that won’t be available to you otherwise.
Ann Zaslow-Rethaber's insight:
We all know the truth behind the saying 'If I Knew Then What I Know Now". Building upon that philosophy, nurturing mentoring relationships in your professional life, can help you immeasurably in your quest to achieve specific professional goals. The key of reciprocity is never stronger , than in establishing mentoring relationships in business. Be cognizant of building relationships with someone that can help you advance your skills in certain areas, and equally important, always be open to returning that gift in imparting your wisdom to someone else. After being in the recruiting world for a quarter of a century now, I always enjoy sharing some of my painful lessons with others to spare them the pain while imparting the lessons, and in turn have gained immeasurably in learning shortcuts and how to use some of the amazing tools that are now available from some of the technically savvy mentees that I have mentored. Being mindful of building relationships with people that are on the same career path as you, and being cognizant of how you can help each other, can result in tremendous benefits from both parties.
