Whether talking with employees, customers, board members, investors, or delivering a keynote, your influence is largely determined by three key elements.
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
- Colin Powell
Confidence and clarity
People begin deciding who to follow very quickly. The leaders who can communicate with insights, confidence and vision create consensus rapidly.
decision making and Goals
To effectively motivate and manage across all levels – especially in times of uncertainty – leaders need to make the best decisions quickly and clearly articulate key goals.
Maximizing potential
Realizing strengths, compensating for weaknesses, inspiring team members, and taking decisive action helps executives truly lead organizations to their full potential.
Continuity of strategic direction and continuous improvement in how you do things are absolutely consistent with each other. In fact, they’re mutually reinforcing.
-Michael Porter
Strategy
Optimized strategies help achieve both your short-term and long-term goals. Taking time to work ‘on the business’ instead of ‘in the business’ is essential for success.
OPERATIONS
Finding industry leading approaches to achieve results across marketing, product, go-to-market, finance, and HR is critical to business efficiency and success.
FUNDRAISING
For companies requiring additional investment, the correct fundraising approach and investor messaging is critical for survival and growth of a business.
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
Andrew Carnegie
Assess and align
True alignment and trust is achieved when the right leaders are able to confidently influence and articulate goals along with their impact on company objectives, divisional priorities, and individuals.
Foster Trust and accountability
By fostering trust and accountability and leveraging unique team strengths, leaders can derive benefits from making team disagreements and conflict constructive.

By removing 20% of wasted and dysfunctional time, a team can make its members five times more productive, and more than double their overall productivity.
