We strongly believe that the most important resource that a company possesses are the people who comprise the organization. Our leadership development services enhance the quality of leadership within our clients' organizations in China. Ginkgo Search Partners links executive search and leadership assessment outcomes directly to business requirements and we create individual development paths that enable executives to achieve their full potential.

Our services in China focus on personal leadership effectiveness and are built by blending our clients' unique contexts with a rigorous, practical, and well researched framework.

We support our clients to develop new and deeper leadership capabilities in a variety of situations, such as when they embark on a new strategy, need to develop their executive talent pipeline and bench, and to improve the deployment, engagement, and retention of their leaders. Many of our multinational clients require international transfer to China and experience to build a future leader.

The development of high potentials to effectively take over the leadership challenges in future is known as succession planning. Succession planning is a specific service within a range of leadership development solutions that requires a sharp focus on the future and vision of an organization.

Ginkgo Search Partners' experts know from experience that those succession decisions are critical in sustaining organizational performance and success. Yet, the quality of the planning processes and approaches that underpin these decisions vary enormously. As business volatility increases and senior management tenure gets shorter, clients are turning attention to the need for efficient succession processes that sustain organizational stability for their business in China and performance through leadership transitions. 

Our clients partner with us in the design and implementation of effective corporate succession plans and leadership transitions, including alignment around future leadership requirements; identification, assessment, and selection of candidates; and transition planning and onboarding for new leaders. 

Blending our firm’s executive search and leadership assessment capabilities we run a twin-track process providing clients with a comprehensive internal and external corporate succession picture. This ensures that we identify and develop successors who will take the organization to the next level. Our approach is designed to help clients identify and evaluate new senior executives in China and prepare them for their success.
