About Rushmore Judge

---

Executive compensation and rewards have changed dramatically in the last 20 years. There's an expanding portfolio of issues that have to be taken into consideration: equity, broadbanding, incentives, performance measurements, market referencing, gainsharing. It goes on and on. Budgets and fiscal responsibilities push in one direction, while securing the best talent pulls in another. The complexities and subtleties of these negotiations can be confounding enough, but adding the idiosyncrasies of the executives themselves can make them a downright trial. Compensation dynamics require a great measure of thought, experience and skill to be handled properly. Rushmore Judge offers practical and insightful counsel during the course of these taxing discussions so that no one walks away from the table feeling shortchanged.

Sometimes an organization needs not just to change, but to undergo a total transformation. It could be because of massive changes in the marketplace, dissonance in the executive ranks, or completely unforeseen financial events. Or it could be because the organization is not performing the way you know it can and should.

Organizational transformation is nothing less than reinventing the Company. By deeply probing the internal and external realities, the culture, the business model, the organizational structure, and anything else that's important, we help to create a series of transformational steps. Anything in the way to the future state becomes fair game in the effort to reinvigorate the Company.   The fusion of intellectual and emotional energy of the combined leadership team is overpowering and, channeled correctly, a force that can attain the desired state.

The Program requires a twelve month commitment and, in addition to organizational transformation, includes focus on individual development as well and team effectiveness.

Whether you need to increase bench strength to handle expanding or changing functions, or to find a replacement to fill those big shoes, the philosophy of the Hire is to surround yourself with the best talent the market has to offer. Bring in, bring up, bring onboard the perfect candidate to maximize the company interests. The critical element of executive search is therefore a sound understanding of the business role the candidate is to fill, both immediately and in the future. The critical element is leadership.

From need definition and staff assessment to personality profiling and the complexities of reward negotiation, Rushmore Judge is a professional, full-service executive search firm poised to help you expand your executive capabilities. A search by Rushmore Judge is about more than qualifications or fit, although those too are important; it is about future potential; it is about identifying and propagating the authentic markers of leadership toward a sure fulfillment of your goals.

Our search consultants rigorously survey and source industry executives who are ready to make a move forward in their careers. We interview and assemble a detailed roster of candidates for your selection, and help you through with the final decisions and hire. Our aim is to ensure both the client and the candidates are comfortable and impressed with the security of the transition. We are so sure of it, in fact, we guarantee the placement for twelve months.

You've just concluded a disastrous meeting with your senior executives, during which most of your time was spent explaining, rephrasing, outlining and summarizing your vision. "This was supposed to be a strategic planning session," you say, where we defined decisive actions for the next quarter; but you've discovered instead fundamental misunderstandings from the very people who are supposed to bring this to fruition. You thought you knew your people, but now you have doubts. You are anxious and frustrated.

Rushmore Judge specializes in counseling CEOs on the business and social dynamic subtleties that make your business work: driving beliefs, optimum performances, healthy structures, reporting relationships. If you make culture, behaviour and understanding instinctual at all levels of the company, you've gone most of the way in achieving your goals. We'll give you the options you need and the perspective you want to choose the best actions.
