Leadership Development & Succession Planning

of highly competent, diverse, and experienced executives for the future.

Sensitive Issue Resolution at Senior Levels
Sensitive Issue Resolution at Senior Levels
- The
Client's Problem:
-
In many organizations there is a sensitive management issue, communication
breakdown, performance problem or conflict facing a senior executive or the
governing board. At lower levels, such issues are resolved with the support
or action of senior management. But when a difficult issue is apparent at
the top, it can be very hard to discuss or address without outside support
from a neutral and experienced consultant.
- Consulting Service:
-
The client may not initially identify the sensitive issue at the early stages
of a consultation, but it is quickly understood by both consultant and client
to be an important underlying factor in the problem situation. These clients
rely on Marisa because of her skills in diagnosing the underlying sources
of the conflict, her sensitivity to the difficult situation the client faces,
and her ability to bring such problems to a diplomatic resolution. While such
discreet interventions may have the lowest public profile, their resolution
brings a significant sense of relief and renewed energy to an organization.
-
Types of Clients and Organizations Served:
-
-
Chief Executives and/or Board Chairs concerned about tense or negative
relationships within the top team of the organization, or between the
executive and staff, in both non-profit and corporate sectors.
-
Board leaders facing the painful problem arising when successful organizations
outgrow the capabilities or management style of the founders.
-
Managers in family businesses, value-driven companies, or small non-profit
organizations who must address a problem performer from within a complicated
set of cultural imperatives and personal relationships.
