A leading agricultural equipment company took on a new investment and initiated a succession process from the founder to an external CEO. The leadership team needed to expand its capacity to execute on the company’s ambitious growth plans, including M&A.
To ensure the leadership team was prepared to lead the company through this next phase, the client engaged with DHR Leadership Consulting for executive coaching.
