 Executive Transitions
Your success is our business
We provide coaching and consulting for leaders and managers during times of (1) organizational transition and change, and (2) individual executive transition and changes.
 Organization Transitions and Changes
Are your executives contributing their best to the mission of your organization? How are you developing your executives to ensure high performance, sustainability and continuity? What is your executive retention rate?
Do you know that...
- 40% of new CEOs fail in the first 18 months? (HBR, January 2005)?
- it can cost as much as 300% of the executive’s salary to fill a vacant corporate executive position?
- it may take as many as four to five months for an organization to return to full power after an executive transition?
Providing a structured transition increases the probability of maximizing the opportunities and minimizing the possible pitfalls during a time of executive transition. It makes sense to view the first 90 days as an opportunity for the new executive (1) to learn as much as possible about the culture of the organization, (2) to develop key working relationships in the system, and (3) to purposefully communicate the aspects of his/her leadership to the organization.
Coaching can be particularly effective during times of executive change: promotions, stretch assignments, and reorganizations. Often, the competencies that have created success in the past are no longer the most effective. A coach can help an executive develop the competencies needed in a new role. The coach serves as an independent sounding board, provides candid feedback, and supports executive learning.
Executive Transitions coaches and consultants can help you:
- Increase the odds of success for a newly promoted executive:
those who have been promoted from within and those who are new to your organization.
- Create a healthy team that is aligned with the new executive’s mandate
(from above) and vision for the organization.
- Deal effectively with executives who wanted the job and didn’t get it.
- Gather information needed to make sound decisions in establishing priorities and implementing changes.
- Identify major goals and priorities for the next six to nine months.
- Develop your high potentials in sharpening their leadership capacities as part of a succession planning process
- Retain valuable employees by demonstrating your commitment to their growth and development.
- Develop capacity
- Support employee transitions during a “right-sizing” effort
- Support executive transitions during mergers and acquisitions
