LEADERS ARE CRITICAL TO organization success.
Ask yourself:
Am I leading in ways that foster alignment and strategy execution?
Am I modeling the behaviors that will embed the preferred organization culture?
Do I understand how my leadership is perceived by others?
Am I as effective a leader as I can be?

Assess and develop your leadership capabilities
Executive coaching is often initiated with a discussion about goals and determining if there’s a good “fit”. Next, we complete an assessment of the leader’s current strengths and shortcomings in the context of his or her business challenges and organization culture. The assessment findings become an effective platform for feedback and prioritizing development. Subsequent coaching then focuses on supporting development, and we provide guidance and constructive feedback all along the way.
Gain perspective and organizational insights as you lead
Being a CEO or senior executive can be isolating, with few others to share ideas openly and gain a neutral perspective. Effective leaders appreciate the importance of having a neutral sounding board and trusted advisor as they consider opportunities, work through difficult challenges, address and plan for succession, and work with their leadership teams and Boards. We engage leaders by providing that perspective, asking relevant questions that broaden their thinking, providing organizational and strategic insights, and then supporting leaders in identifying options and making decisions regarding courses of action they can take comfortably.
Develop a strong leadership bench and plans for succession
Creating a strong leadership bench and planning for succession of critical roles remains an important role of senior leadership. And clear approaches to successor identification, development and eventual transitions are critical to successful leadership changes. We support our client leaders in considering three perspectives related to succession — analytical, personal, and political — as they consider their own succession and of members of their teams. We also work closely with Boards and identified successor leaders to ensure successors are ready to assume their next important roles and the transitions go smoothly.
Ensure an effective interface with your Board of Directors
Today’s Boards of Directors are more proactively engaged with companies than ever before. Directors are increasingly spending time with senior executives to understand better the business and to evaluate the CEO along with the leadership team. As such, C-Suite executives and their teams must develop and maintain effective relationships with their Boards. We advise and strategize with executive clients to leverage Board interactions and relationships for organizational success. We also provides direct consultation and support to Boards to ensure they team effectively and focus on agendas linked to their important role.
