As a senior high tech executive you need specialized coaching. You may have trouble with your board, the executive staff, or underperforming colleagues. Maybe it’s your organizational culture that needs reshaping. The list of issues is long and varied.
Since the publication of Leadership Agility in 2007, I have dedicated my coaching to serve as a catalyst to develop wisdom and maturity in senior leaders. I use the Leadership Maturity Matrix as a guide to identify which capacities and skills will give leaders the vitality and clarity to thrive in the second half of their careers.
