Only 23% of 6,000 executives surveyed believe that their companies attract highly talented people (McKinsey & Co., 2001)
89% of those surveyed found it more difficult to attract talented people than it was three years ago. (McKinsey & Co., 2001)
At Fortune 500 Companies, women leaders are leaving the organization at twice the rate of men (Women in Leadership and Learning, 1999)

Leadership Brand is the measure of your reputation as a place for leaders to work. A strong leadership brand would mean that a firm, among other things:
—Provides great developmental opportunities
—Aggressively differentiates pay based on performance
—Structures leadership roles so a leader can impact a business or
industry
—Has a strong corporate brand in the business community
Leadership Brand Power
Leadership Brand will separate the winners from the losers in the battle for Leadership Talent
11Hewitt Associates
You are able to attract the best leadership talent, without paying a premium, because they recognize the developmental benefits of being with your company
You retain your best talent, because they receive great opportunities to develop, see a performance-based environment with performance-based rewards and respect the top leadership team
Retention of leaders lower in the organization improves, as they increasingly see your company as the leadership employer of choice
Your business results improve as leaders become more engaged by their jobs and the opportunities
Leadership Brand Power
A strong Leadership Brand means . . .

Points of Views from Hewitt
Strategy Driven Leadership -
Creating the Leaders YouNeed to Dominate Your Industry
32Hewitt Associates
Hewitt’s Points of View
• The success or failure of today’s organization relies
more than ever on Leadership
• Corporate winners and losers will be increasingly
distinguished by the quality of their leaders
• Leaders must fit with the strategy of the business to be
effective
• The investment made in growing leaders at
organizations around the globe is dangerously
inadequate
33Hewitt Associates
Best Approach
Create a leadership strategy aligned with business strategy
Understand how leadership practices fit with your strategy and culture
Provide the bulk of resources to those with highest potential for success
Focus on developmental experiences with defined learning goals and coaching
Common Practice
Seize on latest leadership trends and fads
Utilize “best practices” without regard to appropriateness
Distribute development resources equally among all leaders
Use mix of classroom lectures and unstructured developmental assignments
Common Practices Don’t ProvideSustainable Advantage

Strategic Direction
An organization’s strategy can be found somewhere on the spectrum from pursuing revenue growth to pursuing increased earnings
Facts An organization tends not to pursue growth and return strategies
with equal emphasis; one strategy usually dominates Unique leadership skill sets and competencies support the
achievement of each strategy The more dominant the strategy, the stronger the competencies
must be in senior leaders
Return Growth
Leadership Strategy: A Point of View
36Hewitt Associates
Change Intensity
Change will be continual in all organizations and will vary in intensity from transactional to transformational
Facts All companies experience continuous change at an intensity
ranging from transactional to transformational Unique leadership competencies are associated with both
successful transformational change and transactional change The more transformational the changes, the greater the
emphasis on the related competencies
Transactional Transformational

Leadership Strategy
40Hewitt Associates
How well do you understand the impact of your strategy on your leadership needs?
Some Specific Questions: What capabilities will you need from your leaders to
effectively execute your strategy? Will this differ across the Company?
What are the values and culture that leaders must drive? How capable are they of leading this change?
How do your current leaders compare to the leaders you’ll need to succeed?
Leadership Strategy: Actions
41Hewitt Associates
Action Steps Can Include:
Create Leadership Strategy Map skills, background, and leader types needed to realize
strategy Match best current leaders against best opportunities Make “build or buy” decision on filling key leadership gaps
Create Leadership Competency Model and Assess Incumbents Define leadership competencies based on your strategy --
growth vs. return, transformational vs. transactional Assess current leaders against these competencies;
identify gaps

43Hewitt Associates
Client Stories: R.R. Donnelley & Sons
The Situation
A $30 billion multi-national corporation with approximately 36,000 employees, R.R. Donnelley & Sons approached Hewitt for assistance in developing a broad leadership strategy and building a leadership development framework that would touch the top 1,000 leaders in the organization.
What We Did We collected data on the core HR/leadership programs currently in existence today,
reviewing them for completeness, applicability to the company’s strategic direction, and integration with one another.
We spoke with key HR professionals and interviewed business leaders across the organization to gather their input on current processes and future needs.
We worked with the CEO and his direct reports to develop a “strategic roadmap” for the future leaders of the company, based on the need for growth and the plausibility of gaining increased market share.
Value Delivered We delivered a thorough leadership strategy to the executive team in August, 2002. Our
recommendations in that phase are being reviewed, and we expect that many of them will be adopted for use throughout the organization over the next 12-18 months.
We are in the process of building a leadership development framework that will serve as the primary vehicle for the development of approximately 1,000 leaders.
