The complexity of leadership comes with messy politics, the likelihood of missed metrics, misaligned outcomes, and abandoned impact.
The current reality of the way we “do our work” is that we do not adequately or proactively manage day-to-day leadership prowess and excellence. Adding transition to the mix - whether or not you know it’s happening or upcoming - brings a new intersection of challenges and struggle. It’s a reality we will all encounter, many times in our professional lives, yet we aren’t equipped to navigate it, with intention.
Current reality may look like this at your organization:
There is a lack of intentional and thoughtful support for leaders during or after taking new roles.
"Right Fit" is only based on current culture when new leaders are brought in, and during times of transition, often miss the opportunity to take into consideration the broad expertise and chemistry that a new leader possesses, and could bring into the team environment.
Organizational expectations are not true to team needs, and are out of touch with on-the-ground realities for the work and impact needing to be accomplished, which breeds major malfunction and toxicity in rapid speed.
Leaders are not set up for success, and too much precious time and energy is spent swimming against the current.
There is no organizational practice to internally practice “leaving well”, leaving leaders to navigate from one complex situation to the next without any time to process, heal, or seek support.
“I’m here to support your organization through times of transition and beyond.”
Navigating workplace transitions can be tricky, especially when there’s no plan in place. Let me help you prepare for the next transition or recover from the last one.
