Identifying Executive Leaders - Defining the Vision
At Klein Hersh, every successful search begins with clarity.
Step 1 of our process — Identifying Leaders: Defining the Vision — is where we work with you to create the blueprint for the leadership hire that will drive your organization forward.
We begin by understanding your mission, your structure, and your aspirations, then translate that insight into a targeted search strategy built for meaningful impact.
Discovery That Drives the Search for Executive Leadership
With over 25 years of experience cultivating far-reaching talent networks, we “recruit ahead of the need” and build lifelong relationships. Listening to each individual’s motivations and understanding your organization’s needs accelerates our ability to identify your next leader.
We start with an in-depth discovery session, bringing together stakeholders to answer the critical questions: What kind of leader does this organization need? What skills, experiences, and leadership style will spark growth and elevate culture? By aligning with your organization’s current challenges and future goals, we build a foundation that ensures every candidate we present is more than qualified and an excellent fit.

Building the Ideal Executive Profile
Once we understand your vision, we translate it into an ideal leader profile. Here, “executive profiling” may serve as a way of defining what great leadership looks like for your organization.
We focus on:
- Core competencies and experience requirements
- Desired leadership style and cultural values
- Strategic priorities for the role in the short and long term
This profile becomes the north star for the search, guiding every decision and ensuring alignment from start to finish.
A Tailored Executive Search Strategy
No two organizations and no two leadership roles are identical. That’s why we create a custom search plan for every engagement. This plan reflects:
- Your organization’s unique positioning and culture
- The realities of the market for the role you’re filling
- A “recruit ahead of the need” mindset, leveraging our long-term relationships to surface top talent quickly
Because we invest time up front, the search that follows is faster, sharper, and more effective.
Connecting Vision to Action
By the end of Step 1, we will have the shared clarity to identify and engage candidates who aren’t just qualified, but who will make a transformational impact in your organization.
Our goal in this step is simple: align on the vision so we can deliver leaders who will elevate your company culture, shape your strategy, and define your future.
