Finding That Critical Second in Command
Most Visionaries—especially when the business is first launched—wear multiple hats and assume the role of the Integrator or Second in Command. Sitting in both seats is not sustainable for you or the business. It zaps energy, causes burnout, and impacts the growth potential of your business.
When a Second in Command is added to your team, they make up for their salary ten-fold because the Visionary can focus on their own strengths. There’s a more significant margin, the business grows, and more gets done. But it’s critical to find the right person to take on this role.
VisionSpark has been successfully conducting Second In Command (2iC) and Integrator searches for over a decade. This role has historically been referred to as Chief Operating Officer, General Manager, Chief of Staff, or Vice President of Operations. It has most recently been known as “Integrator” or “Second in Command” with the launch of EOS® and Pinnacle Business Guides™.
VisionSpark uses a series of proprietary processes and tools to help you find the ideal candidate for this crucial position. We use our Position Maximizer™ to identify the qualities of your Superstar, our Source & Screen™ tool to vet your top candidates, and the Right Fit Profiler™ to find that perfect combination of skill, experience, and core-values fit you are looking for.
All the pieces of our Integrator/Second in Command search make up a well-oiled machine designed to identify your ideal candidate, so you can elevate to your Unique Ability™.
We know it’s hard for a Visionary to let go of the vine and delegate the day-to-day responsibilities to someone else. That’s why it’s our passion to find the professional who checks all the boxes – who has the skills and experience your business needs and the personality traits that align with your culture and core values—so you can feel confident handing over the reins.
We’ve worked with hundreds of companies who have walked in your shoes, only to realize that their Integrator was what their business was missing all along.
VisionSpark’s team is here to give you the encouragement, support, and expertise you need to fill this important position, so your big, hairy audacious goals can be achieved!
