This book is a guide for private equity and strategic investors into the assessment of management teams in their portfolio businesses. Whilst senior management teams play a central role in creating, and potentially destroying value, investors are often ill-equipped to assess management capability with the samerigor and depth as other areas of the business. This book builds on the idea that rather than assess management, investors actually need to assess management risk. Readers are guided through a practical four stage framework for identifying, mapping and addressing the various leadership-related factors which influence business success. Drawing on a wealth of practical experience and recent research, the book enable investors to: Identify key management risks; Planand conduct assessments of senior management teams, individually and as teams; Manage the process so as to strengthen the relationship between investor andinvestee; Integrate data on the senior team with other dimensions of the business to build a rich picture.David Cooper (London, UK) is founding partner of EGC Partnership, creating the Cooper Limon management due diligence framework.
