Abrasive Executives:

Most executive teams have experienced how a strong personality can hijack a meeting, erode trust, ruin the team dynamic and destroy collaboration among colleagues. We've developed methods to squarely and compassionately address abrasive personalities and the related destruction, even when they've been allowed to fester unchecked for long periods.

Sometimes executives start responding to increasing stress loads in ways that offend their colleagues and erode trust and morale. Often, the executive is unaware of how their behavior is negatively impacting relationships, reducing productivity and destroying a team's collaboration. The impact can even be far more devastating on subordinates.

Many companies tolerate this kind of a situation because it's often too difficult to address internally. Complicating matters, the fact may be that the offending executive is a top producer in other areas, so a decision is made to ignore the behavior or tread gently around the issue. Predictably, things get worse until a breaking point is reached: a claim against the executive, an investigation or a team that leaves en-masse.

We have been successfully addressing these executive behavior challenges for well over 20 years. Our interventions are considerate and effective. While we are not heavy-handed or mean spirited, we do have an edge to ensure that the executive is fully engaged and has a crystal-clear view of the impact their behavior has had on others. We have a proven process to address the behavior and to move the executive down a path of improvement where changes can be both measured and observed. Hundreds of executives have successfully transitioned to far more effective leaders with our coaching and individualized prescriptive tactics for improvement.
