Team metrics—efficiency, results—improve.
The firm was growing fast under the leadership of this charismatic and visionary CEO but the bottom line was still flat. While gifted with inspiration, holding others accountable was not his strength. Unbeknown to him, his top leadership team was rife with in-fighting. There were excesses in several business lines and, one consequence--he appeared to be playing favorites. In our partnership, we re-designed the organizational structure, provided accountability and built direction through strategic planning, resulting in a more efficient and highly productive cohesive senior leadership team. The firm doubled their profitability in the three-year period of our initial engagement with them.

Using quantitative and qualitative diagnostic tools, we develop your unique Leadership Snapshot. We establish baselines, define the issues, identify areas for leverage and set benchmarks for improvement.
2 | Challenge |
We work on your inner game—your mindset, emotional blocks--your outer game --what you say and do and how you do it—as well as the organizational eco-system—managing upwards, peers, and internal clients. We stretch outside your comfort zone.
3 | Sustain |
We help measure and sustain gains in capacity and further embed in support.
This tech savvy senior leader was brought in to be a change agent for a Fortune 100 firm. She had all the right technical skills and the moxy, too. The challenge for her was managing the organizational political system—as a newly appointed senior leader, she didn’t know the key players and their priorities, nor those outside the formal structure that held heavy sway. With our work together, she cultivated allies across the organization and avoided land mines while enrolling their support and got more budget for the change initiatives. As a result of our successes, she took over an even larger part of the organization with more sweeping impact.
