SERVICES
I bring independent judgment to selection, succession, transition and transformation - strengthening the leaders entrusted with consequential enterprise decisions.
C-suite assessment, succession & leadership fit
Making a sound judgment about a senior leader requires more than assessment scores.
I design context-specific assessment processes for CEO and C-suite selection, succession and development. They bring together the requirements of the role, business strategy and culture with psychometric data, executive interviews, stakeholder perspectives and observed leadership patterns.
The objective is not a score or a generic profile. It is a considered judgment about the individual: distinctive strengths, potential, risks, readiness for the role and the conditions or development required for success.
Executive development & transition
A significant step-up in leadership requires more than adding new capabilities.
I work with executives preparing for a larger role, transitioning into a new one, or seeking to elevate their impact in an existing C-suite position. We begin by developing a deeper understanding of the person, how others experience them, and what the new context now requires.
Coaching then translates that awareness into intentional leadership practice: how the executive uses their strengths, manages patterns under pressure, shifts altitude, builds followership, makes choices and increasingly inhabits the role in their own way.
The work is sustained over time so that insight becomes practice, and practice becomes new habits.
Senior team effectiveness
A senior team is more than a collection of strong executives. It is an enterprise leadership system.
My work with top teams examines how the leader leads the team, how the team defines and delivers its collective work, and how individual members contribute beyond the interests of their own functions.
I typically begin with a diagnostic to understand the team in its business context. From there, the work may address purpose, strategic priorities, decision-making, accountability, relationships, enterprise leadership and the practices required for the team to create greater collective impact.
