Leadership assessment sits at the very heart of the talent management landscape. It is extensively (and enthusiastically) deployed by Executive Search firms and organizations.

Stúpanie and 3 CDs Nevy(í)dané rarity by Marika Gombitová
Marika Gombitová surprised again and succeeded in something that few artists who have been active on the scene for several decades have achieved. Marika Gombitová's new 3 CD Nevy(í)dané rarity (Unreleased rarities), which officially went on sale on October 24, 2024, is far from dusting off the archive – 35 recordings from 1975 to 1992, which were never released on any of Marika's albums, are even for many supporters a novelty from the most part. To a certain extent, the same as the bonus, which is a separate third CD in the form of this year's premieres of the hit Fantóm srdca (Phantom of the Heart) and Stúpanie (Rising). Together with Marika Gombitová, her team and the international publishing house MUSICA, we devoted several Art Consulting months to this project. Our Filip Krekáč is again one of the team of collaborators. Not only thanks to the rare recordings and the novelty single Fantóm srdca – Stúpanie, but also to the text, image and graphic processing of the cover and booklet, including Marika's personal memories and an autograph card for a limited number of the first thousand fans, the new 3 CD is already considered a sought-after collector's trophy. The new album became no. 1 in the largest bookstores Panta Rhei, Martinus and Gorila a few days after the sales started. At the same time as the new 3 CD was released on sale, on October 24, the Slovak Radio premiered the studio recording of the new song Rising, for which Marika will soon present a new video clip.Press release...

Seven trends influencing the hiring of leaders
Many consider Executive Search consulting to be a young profession. However, this is not the case. Its roots go back to the end of the 19th century, when innovations accompanying the so-called the second industrial revolution created a need for new leaders who can adapt to a changing environment and growing demands. And so it is to this day. Generational change, an unstable political climate, digitisation, etc. – there are many factors influencing the Executive Search world. Martin Krekáč presents seven key areas that have a high impact on how leaders are hired, what kind of leaders they are, and the kind of future they will create.(5/20)
BLOG: Thanks to crises, the importance of political intelligence increases
Martin Krekáč, chairman and founding partner of the Jenewein Group, focused on the topic of political intelligence (PQ) in a new blog. The increasing complexity of the surrounding environment in organizations reinforces the need to have a professionally filled position of Chief Political Officer (CPO), who can navigate complex political issues and at the same time translate this skill into business success. Geopolitics is simply back. Business owners and top organizational leaders need to have their own political generals at their side – ones who won't get lost in the wild world of politics.(6/20)

The prestigious lifetime achievement award is in the right hands – we are sure of that as a long-term partner of this exceptional singer and songwriter.

We commemorate 25 years of our online presence
Jenewein Group's first website was created 25 years ago! This was in 1998 – just eight years after our consulting group was founded (1990) and just as long after Timothy Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau developed the World Wide Web in the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva (1989-1990). By the way, the year of our entry on the network is also associated with three other anniversaries of services that are now an obvious part of our days – 1998 is the year when the Google service was officially launched, then iTV as the first streaming service in the world, and 1998 is also known as the year of the first cyber-attack. In a quarter of a century, a lot has changed not only in the online world. Of course, our current website is also different. It is necessary to mention in this regard that one single person has been behind all technological innovations since the launch of the web until these days – our Technical & IT Manager Dušan Opálený. We completed the remaining redesign in the spring of 2022 – it concerned not only the classic and mobile website, but also the modification of the logo and other elements of external communication. We have linked all news with the innovation of our services and Jenewein CZ | SK consulting platforms, within which our teams are also active in global partnerships and networks.More information...

Through personal commitment, Filip Krekáč is developing cooperation with the League for Mental Health of the SR
Thanks to strong personal motivation stemming from professional and private values, Filip Krekáč is developing cooperation with the League for Mental Health of the SR (Liga za duševné zdravie SR). It stems from his involvement in the project SPOLUTVORBA /coproduction/. The primary ambition of this project is to innovate the functionality and accessibility of the system of prevention and care for mental health in Slovakia, where peer consultants play a specific role. These are trained people with personal experience of mental illness who, based on what they have experienced or live with, work together with mental health service providers and their customers, i.e. people with mental illness, to achieve a common outcome. The League for Mental Health of the SR is a non-political, charitable, humanitarian, non-professional and independent interest association of citizens and legal entities. The creation of the league dates back to 2000, when there was a need for a strong umbrella organization to improve the lives of the mentally ill and prevent mental disorders.More information...
