Leadership Development

Management “is doing things right;  leadership is doing the right things.” Peter Drucker

Excellence in leadership is what makes realizing excellence in strategic development and execution possible.

Leadership issues organizations struggle with:

Leadership Styles.  Is your leadership style the most effective for your business?

As the leader of your firm, everyone looks to you for direction, and a sense of what is important.  Are there examples of a tendency to micromanage in the company?  Do you see groups within the company that are unable to collaborate effectively?

Emotional Intelligence.  Individuals with a high level of emotional intelligence (EI) are able to understand how their words and actions can have an impact on the people in their firm, and they are constantly focused on framing their conversations to be a positive influence on the firm.

EI also enables a leader to honestly understand areas where they may need assistance, and they are comfortable asking for help.  Emotional intelligence that is lacking in the executive or management team often results in low morale, employees feeling undervalued or not appreciated, and poor performance in some of your departments or across your company as a whole.

Culture.  Does the culture in your firm create enthusiasm for change, or a fear of doing something different?  Is there a sense of urgency for responding to change in the marketplace, or are you always late to react? The culture of a firm comes from the leader.  Culture is an environment that defines what the firm believes is important, how colleagues will interact among themselves, and how they will represent the company to stakeholders.

Employee Engagement.  Is your company experiencing high employee turnover rates?  Is there a reluctance among groups/departments to work together?  Are you mandating cooperation?

When employees are engaged, they are enthusiastic about the company, their role, and their interactions with colleagues.  High levels of engagement are correlated with better than average retention, higher customer satisfaction scores, and improved profitability.

Communication.  Problems with communication can show up in your company as an unclear sense of direction.  Morale may be poor with low motivation.  Your teams find it difficult to collaborate.  Operational decisions are not often aligned with the strategic goals or objectives.
