Executive Search
People are your #1 problem. Getting the right person for a high-profile role is not optional. You want it done right the first time–quickly, honestly, efficiently and ending with an exceptional leader to add to your team. I conduct only a handful of exclusive retained executive searches per year and shun the traditional model for one that actually works. Let’s have a conversation to see if executive search is what you need to address your hiring needs. (I’m available to start the next executive search on March 1, 2012.)
Organization Design
You design your website, your social media strategy, your brand and your marketing plan. But do you spend time designing your organization? Creating an organizational structure that’s primed for innovation and creativity is an intentional act. I can help you come up with a hiring and a team development strategy to keep your people happy, engaged and pressing forward into the unknown. Organization design typically starts with a conversation about your ambitions, continues with a series of 4 workshops with your team (on Vision/Mission, Roles, Team Processes, and Interpersonal Dynamics) and ends with a report and a tactical plan so you can use what you learn and starting building for the future.
Speaking
I deliver practical, useful and actionable insight on doing work that matters without a lot of fluff. Through my writing for The 99 Percent and other outlets, I’ve become something of an authoritative voice on how to get teams, creative types and geeks to work more productively and maintain innovative organizations.
Current speaking topics include:
