With the expectation of fast-paced tech like AI/ML continuing to disrupt markets, firms are looking to invest in companies with quality leadership teams that can keep the momentum rolling. "When evaluating investment opportunities, investors prioritize both the executive team’s experience and pedigree (26%) as well as business model strength (26%), followed by growth potential (24%), underscoring a focus on leadership quality and sustainable business fundamentals." Winning executive teams aren't just dependent on the individual leaders who comprise them; they are a function of an enterprise-first mindset, collective vision, and performance culture that sets them up for success. Investing in leadership development and strategies that put the future of the business first will pay dividends down the line. #leadershipdevelopment #privateequity #portfoliomanagement #pe #investments #performanceculture #enterprisefirst #mindsetmatters
