THRIVING: Senior Leaders
As a senior leader, navigating complex challenges and driving organizational success are paramount. Our mission is to equip you with the tools and strategies to effectively overcome these challenges. Through our targeted 3-D methodology – Discover, Develop, Demonstrate – we empower you to inspire and engage with your teams, lead with confidence and agility, and capitalize on strategic opportunities. By addressing the unique demands of senior leadership, we ensure your ability to drive sustainable growth and achieve your professional aspirations.
As a senior leader in your organization, you exert significant control and influence as you direct the work of multiple teams and groups. You work tirelessly to ensure your organization achieves its goals and fulfills its purpose and mission. To accomplish all this, you may work 12-16 hour days, 7 days a week.
Clients with roles like yours often come to us with questions and concerns such as:
- I am leading the effort to create a new organization, one that hasn’t existed in our company in the past and is new in our industry. What is the best approach to assess, design, plan, and implement organizational change?
- In addition to increasing profitability, how do we leverage all opportunities to increase individual and team cohesion, performance, and quality?
- I’m not just a leader; I’m a spouse and parent. How can I further support and enhance both my work and family time?
As your executive coach, Linda Sinisi works with you to customize your confidential program based on the style of Discovery, Development, and Demonstration of your preference. As the client, you will lead the sessions as you work together to break new ground for your unique path to success.
Here is how executive coaching has benefited one of our coaching clients. In order to maintain confidentiality, his name has been changed, and some detailed contents have been modified.
Zackary is a senior director who works for a Global Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company. He is relatively new to this organization but comes with many years of experience and success gained while working for multiple Global Fortune 500 companies. He is married, has young children, and his wife has a demanding job outside the home.
Zackary and his boss have differing work and communication styles, and as a result, they naturally plan their strategies and execution in different ways. The culture of the organization is also very different from that of Zackary’s previous employers. He and his boss’s manager have a good rapport, but Zackary senses that the leader he reports to directly is uncomfortable with this, so he is careful not to go around him. It is challenging when said manager comes to him instead of consulting his boss. As he begins his executive coaching experience, Zackary’s primary goal is to become successful within his new company’s culture and develop a strong executive presence in this new role. He also wants to discover how he can bond with his boss so that he will be viewed as the ideal leader, someone his boss will consider invaluable.
As part of his executive coaching experience, Zackary engages in Thriving 360 and receives input from significant people in his professional and personal life. They include his current boss and the one from his prior company along with his family, friends, peers, and direct reports.
Thanks to their insights and what he discovered while working with his coach, Zackary took a step back and viewed his job and life from the outside looking in. He gained perspective on all the positive attributes that people who matter to him value and treasure. This input reinforced key aspects of methods he had successfully employed in the past.
Zackary has strategies he employed prior to the conclusion of his coaching engagement which brought about positive change both at work and at home. He demonstrated what he had learned from the coaching process by finding ways to take time for himself and his family to recharge, even in the midst of his busy schedule. He now regularly takes his family out for fun activities and started a new workout routine which is giving him more energy and personal space to meet the challenges of his demanding work and personal life.
In addition to achieving his work and family goals, Zackary expanded his capacity to work on a business solution he envisioned in hopes of one day launching his own business.
