Services include:

Leadership Assessment: of the underlying dynamics, strengths, developmental challenges and opportunities for individual leaders, teams and entire organizations.  Both standard and customized tools created by Dr. Fisher are available to support this process.  The purpose of these dynamic tools is to acquire baseline data to guide development, and to instill commitment across the organization to support the leader and participate in change initiatives.

Individual Leadership Development: with focus on acceleration and stretch of leaders and their teams, boards, and companies. There are times when key leaders are performing at a satisfactory level, yet are faced with major change initiatives or an expansion of their role with little time to grow the requisite skills.  In accelerated Leadership Development, Dr. Fisher works intensively with these leaders to quickly achieve the necessary outcomes and develop a strategy to succeed, while acquiring the tools for the job in the background.

Leadership Turnarounds:  take leaders who are in critical positions overseeing initiatives that are struggling to perform and assist them with putting those initiatives back on track.  This process can result in breakthrough outcomes and expanded capacity for both the leaders and their organization. There also are leaders who are key to organizational and division success, yet who at times veer in directions that are debilitating or even toxic to the welfare of the organization and their own careers. These critical situations require objectively identifying obstacles and engaging the executives in the recognition of the problem and their motivations to change course. These executives must find a way to execute the necessary steps to succeed. In the event that they do not, then a transition is in order that preserves the organizations that they serve as well as the reputations and careers of the individuals involved. Dr. Fisher works on behalf of the organization, the supervising executives and the leaders in question to accomplish these goals.

Communications: skills development directed to the How and What to say to Whom and When, with a focus on understanding the logic and timing of the delivery of messages both direct and difficult for maximal effectiveness and visible leverage in the performance of their function and organizations.

Partnering: across teams and organizations; creating strategies to integrate parties, resolve potential conflict, anticipate problems and opportunities as well as to provide structure and agreements that will successfully weather change and challenge.

Negotiation: ranging from interpersonal commitments to obtaining resources, establishing career growth opportunities and navigating the delicate negotiations that occur with peers, superiors and subordinates as well as larger scale negotiations.

Conflict Resolution: between individuals, within and between groups and entire organizations around issues of content, style and to save important executives and initiatives from destructive outcomes.

Executive Transitions:In today’s volatile economic environment, as well as in the routine course of career growth, executives may move often from one position to another and between companies. Timing a transition in career trajectory requires careful consideration. Dr. Fisher helps orchestrate the process of assessing suitable career goals, necessary skills and the development required to achieve success. These services apply when individuals are moving within or between organizations.
