ABSTRACT
Seek is a market-leading employment job board technology company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. International growth has come through acquisitions of in-country technology companies that seek then, post-acquisition, develops to home market dominance with home market Chief Executive Officers. Once regulatory approval for the merger was given, the organisation set about merging the entities and laying the foundations for long-term growth. Leadership transitions, described as a leader moving from one level of leadership to a higher level of leadership, are often fraught with complexity leading to many leadership mistakes and the failure of between 25 and 40% of senior executive leadership transitions. Subtly or overtly setting up a multi-phased coaching programme that addresses a range of coaching needs is vital in ensuring the client has the best opportunity to succeed. Seeking and receiving stakeholder feedback on a regular basis is essential for programme monitoring but also evolution.
