The Hidden Risk in Every Executive Hire
The offer is signed. The resume is gold. But integration is where even the most expensive hires fail.
After a five to seven-figure search, months of interviews, and board-level scrutiny, the first 90-day clock starts ticking. Yet, most onboarding programs stop at checklists and culture decks, leaving your new leader to face unspoken power dynamics, unclear expectations, culture misalignment, and high-pressure performance windows alone.
That's where early missteps turn into silent resistance, or full-blown flameouts. Sound familiar?

FAQs
We already run a 90-day orientation. Why add coaching?
Checklists install a leader; IL coaching integrates them, bridging culture, politics, and performance.
Our search firm offers 'integration coaching.' What's different?
Typical search-firm coaching = 3-6 hours. IL engagements deliver 30–60 hours of Master-level coaching tied to hard KPIs.
Can the executive pay personally?
Yes. We structure self-funded engagements with the same rigor and confidentiality, often reimbursed once results speak.
Is this available outside North America?
Absolutely. We coach leaders globally through a hybrid on-site/virtual model with cultural adaptation.
What's the investment?
Premium and bespoke, aligned to scope. We outline options during your consultation.
