Building Trust, Commitment and Accountability
The most brilliant strategy or business model won’t go far without attention to the level of commitment, accountability and trust in the organization. I work with leaders and their teams to:
- Assess individuals’ strengths, opportunities for improvement, and fit with corporate culture and strategy
- Create the space for creative conversations that address problems and opportunities head-on
- Build a common language for healthy agreements and commitments
- Learn constructive ways to deal with performance breakdowns and get back on track
- Develop individual capacity to lead passionately and authentically
- Manage more effectively – up, down or sideways
My job is to ask you challenging questions, to take you through a tested, rigorous process. I believe the answers to those questions lie within you, your team, and the people you serve – that’s why my motto is “Be Brilliant!”
I work collaboratively with my clients to strengthen effectiveness and bottom line results through:
- Understanding and articulating your “deep story” about what you want to accomplish and why
- Articulating your core vision and purpose
- Identifying and evaluating strategic opportunities that fulfill your vision
- Making choices about strategies, plans, goals, and objectives
- Creating success measures
- Developing new skills for building and managing trust and accountability with others
- Building your personal capacity to lead passionately and authentically
- Implementing, learning, and adapting based on experience
I’ve helped my executive clients:
- Learn better strategies for dealing with “problem” employees
- Overcome excessive reliance on a “command and control” style
- Enhance conflict resolution skills
- Achieve better work-life balance
- Learn new ways to manage stress
- Become more open to others’ ideas
- Learn to have the hard conversations, especially about performance issues.
- Be a better delegator
- Develop talent, empower and motivate subordinates
- Build more effective relationships up and across the organization
- Position for promotion
- Learn new ways to get people’s ideas out, buy in and commitment
