I’ve personally been a past client of Ben Dattner, an executive coach and organizational development consultant, and head of Dattner Consulting. Ben has an unusually well-developed website, well worth reviewing when you are thinking through management decisions and challenges. I put some links below to some of his articles I thought were most pertinent to tech CEOs:
- An Interview Scorecard for Making Better Hiring Decisions
- Why You Should Interview People Who Turn Down a Job with Your Company
- How to Use Psychometric Testing in Hiring
- How to Write Your Managerial “User’s Manual” to Orient Your New Hires
- How Structured Debate Helps Your Team Grow
- How to Profile a CEO from Afar
- A CEO’s Personality Can Undermine Succession Planning
- The Key to Performance Reviews is Preparation
- The Right—and Wrong—Ways to Give Employees Kudos
- How to Participate in Your Employee’s Coaching
- When Coaching Finds That an Executive Isn’t in the Right Role
Ben is also the author of Credit and Blame at Work: How better assessment can improve individual, team and organizational performance.
