My work is built on 25+ years of experience working with leaders to grow their businesses and deliver results
. . .by helping them make tough choices about strategy, investment, people, organization design, teamwork, governance, engagement.

• Get the top management team playing like champions—whether they’re As, Bs or ( Cs), and especially if they’re all
  'stars’
• Get better traction from the top management team with the organization at large — so everyone is fully engaged in delivering on the strategy
• Help B players become A players—before today’s tougher challenges turn them into C players
• Communicate effectively and efficiently with the board and investors—and create more value from board relationships

Past engagements have addressed a broad range of leadership challenges, including:

• The strategy is clear, but implementation by key leaders is stalled or stalling (accelerating strategic business results)
• The organization structure is built around current personalities more than for successful strategy execution (strategic organization design).
• Meetings of the top management team produce ‘more heat than light’, and members can’t say afterwards ‘that was a good use of my time’ (top management team development)
• Senior management are not all high performers, and overall team performance is suffering (executive assessment, leadership development and coaching)
  
• Leadership talent is not consistently improving in quality year over year (talent strategy and succession planning)
• The organization is moving too slowly to capitalize on competitive windows of opportunity (employee engagement and change management)
• Board meetings leave too many unsatisfied— conversations get into too much detail (or not enough); there’s not enough candor (or too much) (strategic board development)

New advisory relationships invariably start with a specific project we devise together, based on the primary challenges facing leadership . . . then firmly establish a habit of impact . . .and include a ‘leadership game plan’ for extending the impact going forward.
