CRITICAL PROBLEM:
Troubled Executives
Each new level of responsibility represents both opportunity and risk.
Opportunity
As a leader moves up the ladder the need for technical and manager
skills lessens and the need for interpersonal skills increases significantly.
The opportunity reflects the expected success of the leader.
Risk
The risk is that they do not handle transition well and get off-track.
This can happen for many reasons.
New challenges may require behavior from the executive that they have not had to exhibit in the past.
A common example might be a person who is hitting or exceeding their numbers but treats those around them poorly. The result typically is a loss of teamwork and high potential juniors who start looking elsewhere for their opportunities.
No organization can afford to waste years of investment without attempting to get on off-track leader back on course. Redirections, Inc. offers 16 years experience to manage just this type of intervention.
