The Standard of Impression.

Every leader has seasons. Most are vetted once and supported inconsistently. Investors and boards look hardest at a leader at the start of a hold. After that, the read comes mostly from people close to the company.

Cover of The Standard of Impression, a white paper from Gannett.Partners
What is inside
  1. 01Where the gap is. Most deals hold the assets to a standard of proof and the leader to a standard of impression. The paper sets out why, and what it costs.
  2. 02The CEO lifecycle. Four checkpoints when the job changes and owners are, in effect, making a fresh bet on the same person: a new bet or a new leader, a new team, a new plan or a longer hold, and a new owner.
  3. 03What an independent read looks like. The questions to answer at each checkpoint, and how to keep the people judging a leader separate from the people helping that leader grow.

Written for private equity sponsors, family offices and boards, and for the founders and CEOs they back.
