Nothing in life stays the same and that’s true for your organization. It has successfully grown and evolved, but things just aren’t the same. They are getting more complex and decision making can bog down. Meetings are often unproductive, conflict may be arising between “the old” and “the new” and you feel like you are losing some control. You are not alone.
Organizations move through a natural lifecycle that requires significant transitions. Starting and running an organization is a different challenge than changing one. Focusing on the critical pillars of healthy development will help you through these transitions and avoid premature decline.
With a 35-year career focused on assisting organizational leaders through the challenges of growth and transition, Michael Wilkes & Company can help you build the foundation for continued success. Let Michael put his experience and knowledge to work for you.
We offer management consulting and leadership coaching, to assist the leaders of closely held businesses and church/non-profit boards challenged with the necessary transitions driven by their growth. We do this by focusing on four foundational pillars.
As an organization evolves, so too must the responsibilities of its leadership. We’ll help you understand your evolving role in the current stage of your organization’s lifecycle and distinguish between normal growing pains and more chronic issues requiring immediate attention.
Often, a more formal management or governance structure is necessary for taking the organization to the next level of development. We can help you get there through role clarity as well as helping to establish processes to ensure consistency, communication and accountability.
It is essential to develop a leadership team that plays to each other’s strengths. We will coach your leadership team to “Face the F.A.C.T.S.©” of a healthy team, while also coaching individual leaders to enhance their effectiveness with both their teams and the organization as a whole.
In order to move the organization toward their desired future, management must successfully execute short-term plans. We will help implement a process for “Closing the GAP from A to B©” that aligns your vision with short-term actions and instills the disciple of review and accountability.
Lead the transition out of your current challenges and equip your leadership team and organization to face the greater challenges of future growth. Contact Michael Wilkes & Company today.
