# Steering Point > Steering Point is an Irish executive search and leadership development firm. We partner with boards, CEOs and senior leaders to appoint exceptional executives and to build high-performing leadership, using a research-driven, evidence-based methodology rather than gut feel. Our work spans two connected practices: Executive Search, which identifies and secures senior leaders, and Human Performance, our leadership development practice. Both are underpinned by psychometrics, a structured four-phase process (Learn, Explore, Engage, Appoint) and post-placement support. Our approach pages and track record set out the evidence and outcomes behind this. ## Executive Search - [Executive Search](https://steeringpoint.ie/executive-search): Overview of our retained executive search practice for board, C-suite and senior leadership appointments. - [Executive Search — Healthcare](https://steeringpoint.ie/executive-search/healthcare): Senior leadership search across the healthcare and care sector. - [Executive Search — Professional Services](https://steeringpoint.ie/executive-search/professional-services): Executive search for professional services firms and corporates. - [Executive Search — Public Sector & Not-for-Profit](https://steeringpoint.ie/executive-search/public-sector-not-for-profit): Leadership appointments for public bodies, semi-states and charities. ## Human Performance (Leadership Development) - [Human Performance](https://steeringpoint.ie/human-performance): Our leadership development practice, helping organisations grow the capability of their leaders and teams. - [Leadership Development](https://steeringpoint.ie/human-performance/leadership-development): Programmes that build high-impact leadership and individual performance. - [High Performing Teams](https://steeringpoint.ie/human-performance/high-performing-teams): Team effectiveness and development for senior and intact teams. ## Our Approach & Track Record - [Our Approach](https://steeringpoint.ie/our-approach): Our research-driven, evidence-based methodology, including the four-phase search process and use of psychometrics. - [Track Record](https://steeringpoint.ie/track-record): Completed senior appointments and client outcomes evidencing our work. ## Diagnostic Tools - [Team Effectiveness Quotient (TEQ) Diagnostic](https://steeringpoint.ie/team-effectiveness-quotient-teq-diagnostic): Diagnostic measuring the effectiveness of leadership teams. - [Potential Quotient](https://steeringpoint.ie/potential-quotient): Diagnostic assessing leadership potential. ## About & Contact - [About Us](https://steeringpoint.ie/about): Who Steering Point is, our people and our positioning. - [Contact](https://steeringpoint.ie/contact): Get in touch with the Steering Point team. ## Optional - [WorkLife — Blog & Podcast Library](https://steeringpoint.ie/worklife): Index of articles and podcast episodes on leadership, work and talent. - [The #1 Podcast — Library](https://steeringpoint.ie/the-1-podcast): Episode library for Steering Point's podcast. - [Home](https://steeringpoint.ie/): Site home page.
