LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Our accelerated pace demands that in a few short hours, leaders need to effectively:
1) Facilitate an important meeting
2) Influence a colleague to change his/her position
3) Deliver a difficult performance conversation
4) Plan for tomorrow's pivotal budget meeting and
5) Respond thoughtfully to a few urgent messages among a host of marginally important emails
Not only does this high demand, fast paced environment promote a reactive mind-set, it reinforces a belief that there isn't enough time to consider potential land mines, consequences, or synergies instrumental to long term success.
Through a collaborative examination of expectations, goals, business or professional partnerships, and team dynamics, we work to understand what needs to stay as is, shift, or change. As clarity increases regarding the highest and best use of your time, new habits emerge to support not just what you accomplish, but also how you execute and, who you involve to get it done well.
Teams excel when their leader confidently sets a vision, communicates in ways that motivate and inspire, delivers tough, timely messages, effectively influences and collaborates with key partners, and leverages the larger organization in support of the vision. That's a lot of work! Great leaders have discovered how to stay laser focused on those activities in ways that preserve their effectiveness across multiple audiences, settings, and levels of demand. Few leaders have done it alone, and most have engaged others to guide them. Back to Services
