Exercise: Head of Selection Committee for HSOInterview candidates for a CEO/Executive
Director position at an HSO
What qualities are you looking for in the perfect candidate
What questions will you ask in the interview
![Page 10: Agenda Review Staying Fit Case CEO/Executive Director Role Board of Directors (Trustees) Role](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb25503460f94bb8429/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CEO Enigma: Different Type of LeaderThe HSO manager has to be proficient in the art
of management and in public policy.
The HSO leader must be knowledgeable about the technology the firm provides.
This situation creates a potential source of difficulty and problems in running the organization.
Balancing fiscal and service needs presents employee management challenges.

HSO: Management ChallengesHSO are typically “lean” at the management level,
therefore the ED or CEO plays a complex role (wear many hats)
Pay is much less than FPO counterpart ($30k-$200k)If paid too much HSO may loose legitimacy and is
scrutinized
2 primary responsibilities that fall into HSO management. 1) operational manager-things running smoothly,
efficiently, resources being properly used 2) fund raiser-Securing funds necessary for the HSO
to continue operation
Not easy to find both skill sets in one person
