4 COUNT ON US FOR BOARD-LEVEL LEADERSHIP Leadership is not one formula. Effective leadership is highly situational, and board member selection is, therefore, highly situational. The work begins with the science of understanding leaders and their specific leadership characteristics. The art of applying this knowledge to board roles, in order to achieve an outstanding result, is where the work pays off. Korn/Ferry s Board Practice is a Center of Excellence, a limited team of 100% dedicated subject matter experts on board leadership. This is a team that lives the effective selection and performance of boards every day: l Partners who dedicate their whole practice to board selection and closely team with Partners of industry expertise l BOARDWALK SM, a central nervous system designed specifically for board knowledge-working l Intellectual capital concerning board leadership from the Korn/Ferry Institute l Unparalleled global leadership talent-mapping, industry by industry Korn/Ferry International 1

6 count on OUR Execution Excellence Korn/Ferry bases all director recruitment and selection on four principal components of director effectiveness: Skills & Knowledge In recruiting a director, a board always seeks some combination of specific knowledge and skills that complements the board and adds proficiency. We work with boards to define these targeted experiences and to design research strategies. Reputation & Achievement Knowledge by itself is inadequate. Translating good thinking into real results earns a director the reputation and credibility to truly lead and influence. Leadership & Character Work in the boardroom demands a particular set of values that match that company and board, in addition to leadership attributes that fit board service in particular. Not all leaders of merit and accomplishment make good directors and vice-versa. Our board practice is comprised of experts on the art and science of this very subject. Availability & Motive Key considerations in the development of director prospects include the availability to serve on the designated dates, freedom from conflicts of interest, capacity for the time commitments to be successful and expectations matched with a director prospect s own ambitions. These are critical to vet early in the navigation process toward a potential director. Korn/Ferry International 3

8 count on OUR Strategic Information Assets The Comprehensive Intelligence Process There is no greater need for comprehensive intelligence anywhere in the talent industry than there is in the search for directors. Regulatory actions, the media, mergers and acquisitions, required public reporting and the Internet are just some of the underlying principles for a strong search and selection process. The key to our success is the way that we mobilize knowledge to define prospects that can be accessed, evaluated and enabled for a director position within the context of each client s formula for director effectiveness. We call this BOARDWALK SM. A central research function comprised of a small group of dedicated professionals with a set of sophisticated tools and access to every corner of Korn/Ferry s intelligence about organizations and leaders, BOARDWALK SM is the central nervous system for every director search.
