Dear ,

Did you know that 72% of CEOs in the financial services industry are concerned about the availability of key skills? With nearly half planning to increase headcount in the coming year, the competition for top talent is fiercer than ever.

How about this one? Only 23% of managers and senior executives active on talent-related topics believe their current acquisition and retention strategies will work.

Step 3 in our proven process addresses this crucial issue: Building the Right Team.

As Jim Collins wisely states, "Great vision without great people is irrelevant." In financial planning, having the right team can make all the difference between success and stagnation. This step involves:

• Evaluating your current team's strengths and weaknesses
• Identifying gaps in skills or expertise
• Ensuring the right people are in the right roles
• Creating a succession plan for sustainable leadership
