Quick Wins

Are Your Leaders Fighting Fires or Getting Results?

The vast majority of leadership challenges are everyday situations that need to be managed quickly and effectively. It's the little things, if not dealt with right the first time, will inevitably grow into really big headaches. 

Then you'll start seeing problems like missed deadlines, budget over runs, increased customer complaints or plummeting morale because everyone is working harder and harder. Now your leaders are consumed with putting out raging brush fires instead of putting forth effort to make their goals.

You Can Stop That From Happening! 

Contact us to find out more about our short-term Quick Wins Coaching. We have worked with line and mid level managers, project and team leaders, department and division heads and even boards to find solutions to these kinds of leadership and managerial challenges:

  • Staff burnout, low morale, and conflict that won't go away.
  • Personnel issues as discipline, termination, absenteeism, tardiness.
  • Building or mending fences with customers,  clients or stakeholders.
  • In-fighting and finger pointing between teams, departments, or units.
  • Time management - doing more with less time, resources and people.
  • Running productive, focused meetings and making powerful presentations.
  • Performance management including feedback, evaluation and development.

Don't see your specific leadership challenge on this list. Still contact us and we can provide you with additional examples of how we have helped managers stop fire fighting fires and start getting results. 

A Coaching Story

Because of the sudden resignation of the president of a performing arts organization, the board chair assumed leadership during the four month search process. Worked with him on personal productivity, delegation and project management; leadership style and communication; and managing the dual roles of board chair and interim director.

Results

  • Financial and personnel problems dealt with before the arrival of the new executive.
  • Successful completion of two scheduled major fund-raising events –"the shows did go on".
  •  Avoidance of political fallout in the community that could have affected future funding and support.
