RETAINED SEARCH:Find Leaders Who DriveLasting Transformation
The Right Executive Leader Makes All the Difference.
Hiring the wrong leader is costly in both time and lost opportunity. The right leader, however, can transform an organization, drive sustainable growth, and create a high-performance culture.
At NEXT LEVEL Partners®, LLC (NLP), we go beyond traditional executive search. Our retained search practice is one of the only search firms with dedicated, full-time resources who have worked inside the very Lean business system cultures we help build. Our team has firsthand experience at world-class companies like Danaher, Fortive, Fluke, and Rexnord, where they didn’t just study Lean, they lived it. They’ve participated in Kaizen events and worked within strategy deployment teams on breakthrough priorities, giving them a real-world understanding of what it takes to lead in high-performance, operationally-focused organizations.
