In a post-Covid world, fewer strategic initiatives are business-as-usual.
Leaders need fundamentally new skills, methods, thinking and experience to find and exploit new sources of growth -- as changes in customers, talent, and technology are reshaping their industries. New business ventures are challenging and too often fail in approach or implementation.
CEOs and senior executives are waking up to the fact that leaders with these capabilities are in short supply, inside and outside their business. They want to develop their own leaders, but consultants become the bandaid solution when urgency & importance mean a new initiative simply can't wait. When this happens, the work gets done, but no leader or organizational capabilities are advanced.
It's a problem faced by scaling startups, midsize and large companies alike -- and for this reason I am now offering applied coaching support on critical growth ventures or change projects.
I believe that your best investments both enhance outcomes, and improve your team.
