Stay aligned - Advisory retainer

Leadership in ambiguous situations can be difficult, especially if the pressure to achieve financial results rises.

Every leader has been trapped in thought patterns such as:

• “Everyone is just complaining and nobody comes up with solutions”,
• “I wish Joe had told that to me months ago.”
• “They are just not doing what they are supposed to do.”
• “I said this three weeks ago. Is anyone ever listening to me?”
• “I hear ten different explanations for the same problem. Is nobody ever talking to each other?”
• “Now I don’t have the time to explain how to get the sales through, I have to do this myself again.”
• “In the end, I have to grind myself to fix everybody’s mistakes.”

We are all humans, and it is normal to have such thoughts of frustration sometimes. But if we stay in these thought patterns, the probability of team success is low. It is still possible, but low.

What is missing in those situation is alignment and clarity. Alignment between the leader and the team, and clarity for the board on why things are happening.

I help you create the alignment and gain the clarity in which results can materialize with high probability.

I provide at least two biweekly calls, and continuous e-mail access with a general response rate under 24hrs.

I’ll make myself available for further calls to be a buffer for challenging situations, offering mirroring, reflection and rehearsal of tough conversations.

Reach out and we’ll talk through your situation and what a good rhythm looks like for you.
