Senior Leaders
“I valued Mark's ability to offer practical and perceptive insights, to serve as a sounding board for my ideas and plans, and to help me develop creative approaches to achieve critical wins in the early going.”
Fred Demers, SVP of HR, Transportation Company
The pressure to produce ever-increasing margins and profits in the short term and address current client demands often conflicts with the long-term drive for new services, products and markets. With executive and management attention stretched to the breaking point, retaining specialized expertise to ensure that leaders and teams meet their objectives is a strategy that gives organizations the edge.
Has your organization ever experienced the following problems?
- A newly appointed leader repeatedly demonstrates poor judgment during his first thirty days in a critical assignment, alienating his team and stakeholders to the extent that they withdraw their support and/or leave the organization.
- An important cross-functional team is formed but hasn't met its objectives within the necessary timeframes, leading a significant business problem to worsen.
- Your leadership team doesn't have the time or inclination to focus on the coaching new leaders, and external resources are needed to "jump start" or achieve change initiatives.
- You have accepted a new role that represents great opportunity and great risks, and you would value an executive coach that focuses on leadership transitions as a confidential "sounding board" and partner in your success.
We provide "early warning system" feedback on the effectiveness of your leadership changes so proactive steps can be taken to reinforce, adjust, or correct a leaders' progress during the critical first six months of a leadership change.
Our candid and regular feedback and ability to work with leaders on adjusting their course protects your recruiting investment while supporting the achievement of your organization's objectives. We believe that we offer consistent and positive results during each assignment, which, in subsequent assignments improves as we learn more about an organization's culture and networks.
