General Manager (GM) Hiring Toolkit and Success Profile

Working in partnership with Columinate (formerly CDS Consulting Co-op), NCG has developed a pair of resources to aid co-op boards in the process of hiring and developing general managers (GMs).

The Hiring Toolkit provides a comprehensive guide to the GM hiring and onboarding process, as well as useful tools to support choosing the best possible candidate.

The Success Profile is a model of competencies, skills, key experiences and personal attributes that make general managers (GMs) successful. This profile is particularly useful for boards hiring new GMs, for GMs looking to develop successors, for GMs who want to close their own skill gaps and for individuals who want to develop their skills to become future GMs.
