What We’re Thinking
Take a moment to keep up with The Bailey Group and let our influential professionals keep you up-to-date with what is going on in the world of business and executive leadership. Whether you prefer to digest your information in the form of informative blog posts, in-depth white papers, or engaging podcasts, we have you covered.
The Power to Empower
Executive leaders are responsible for maximizing the contribution of leaders at all levels. If a subordinate leader fails in following your strategic direction it could feel like there is an irreconcilable conflict between being tolerant of mistakes and holding team members accountable. But executives who are truly committed to empowering subordinates will always make a change.
If You Think That You Have a Problem…You Do!
If something is not right with your team, your approach, and/or your results, are you prepared to diagnose the problem and take decisive action?
Rip the Band Aid Off
When it comes to a long term, toxic performer, don’t let your discomfort or fear delay the inevitable. Take the appropriate action, and good things will come to you and everyone in the organization.
Communicating Strategic Intent
Executive leadership is faced with the challenge of maximizing the contribution of leaders at all levels. To get more initiative and innovation from followers, you may have to change how you communicate strategic intent.
Performance Management – Are You Motivated AND Able?
To do a good job coaching and developing the individuals on your team, senior leaders need both the drive and the right personality strengths. If either the motivation or the ability is missing, an executive coach can make a great partner.
Executive Coaches Must Step Up and Articulate Their Value
The purpose of executive coaching is to achieve a business outcome. Unfortunately, clients and coaches often confuse the tool (coaching) with the outcome, making measurement of coaching’s impact unclear.
The Hints Others Don’t Take
The ripple effects when leaders are not direct with each other move through the entire team, if not the entire organization, eventually contributing to the erosion of business results.
Can’t You Take a Hint?
We may all prefer to ignore something and hope it goes away. But in work situations, indirect communication, or altogether avoidance of an issue can have negative, long-term impact on relationships and results.
The Power of Three: Focus for CEOs
As a CEO, the path to achieving sustainable success requires remaining focused on the most important tasks at hand, and not allowing yourself to be distracted.
How Does Leadership Coaching Really Work?
What I do as a coach sounds relatively simple, but it is not. It has the potential to be so powerful that it could be considered a life-changing experience. Leadership coaching provides new outlooks, new possibilities and new successes to those who are brave enough to engage in it.
