The primary relationship
Part strategic advisor. Part executive coach. Focused on what will
help you move.
Bring the consequential work: a growth goal, strategic choice,
stalled initiative, cofounder conflict, leadership challenge,
important partnership, or question about what you want next. I
help you define the real issue, challenge the assumptions shaping
it, and decide what to do.
At times I will offer a strategic perspective or direct advice. At
others, the useful work is to examine your motivation, fear,
integrity, courage, or effect on the people around you. I do not
arrive as the expert on your industry or prescribe the answer from
outside; you remain closest to the business and responsible for
the choice. We work across these dimensions because your
leadership and the company's performance are connected.
The value of context
Over time I learn the business, the people, what has already been
tried, and how you tend to lead under pressure. You do not have to
reconstruct the situation for a new consultant each time, and we
can recognize recurring obstacles earlier.
