Challenge. Clarify. Create.
Every day, CEOs find themselves surrounded by challenges that appear to limit their choices and hinder their agility. I call these barriers the 3 T’s:
Because time is the most limited resource, CEOs need a neutral space to think in order to balance long-term strategy with immediate operational demands.
Time
Because they must grapple with the complexities of managing a team of unique individuals each with their own ambitions and performance level, CEOs benefit from an informed and unbiased thought partner enabling speed and focus.
Team
Because they must constantly engage with short-term crises and competing priorities that can force them into a reactive rather than proactive stance. Structured conversations enabling ideation and proactive ‘planning the work and working the plan’ is the answer.
Tyranny of the Day
How We Work Together:
Here’s how the Challenge, Clarify, Create framework helps CEOs break free from the tyranny of the day and drive peak performance:
CHALLENGE - The current landscape: we begin by questioning assumptions and encouraging critical thinking in a judgment-free space where you can address problems head-on without shying away from difficult conversations. We’ll challenge existing paradigms and identify opportunities for innovation within your organization, confront the status quo, and explore bold strategies that will propel you and the business forward
CLARIFY - Next, we’ll collaborate to articulate your vision, goals and desired outcomes. Distilling complex concepts into actionable insights, you will have a clear plan for the path ahead, ensuring the ability to align your team around your mission. Everyone understands the goals and expectations and are better equipped to navigate the inevitable challenges.
CREATE - The final component is about taking action. We define what success looks like, then we create a plan around your vision and the work ahead.
