In this discussion with The Consulting Report, Chad Hesters explores how AI is reshaping leadership expectations, why executive search remains inherently human, and how servant leadership informs his approach to guiding a global partnership. He emphasizes that clients increasingly seek leaders who can guide organizations through disruption, manage AI-driven change, and balance technology with strong human leadership, while also turning to search firms as strategic advisors during periods of transformation, succession, and growth. Hesters highlights Boyden’s partner-led, globally collaborative model—combining deep expertise across privately held, family-owned, and mid-cap organizations with global reach and local insight—as central to delivering measurable impact across executive search, interim management, and leadership advisory services, while reflecting his servant leadership philosophy that prioritizes empowering others and fostering a culture of collaboration, integrity, and sustained value creation.
