Invest in Sharper Judgement,

not harder work

The complexity you face as an executive demands higher-order thinking. The highest performing executives don’t push harder.  They build better mental infrastructure - and they invest in the advisor who can help them do it.

You’ve seen the data around leadership impact, and you can relate

71% Improvement

Organizations who have invested in manager’s leadership habits report significant (71%) improvement in job manageability as reported by their middle managers.

Yet, only 50%

Of employees are confident in their manager’s ability to lead  their team to be successful (Gartner 2023)

And, according to several studies around 50% of new hires are considered to be underperforming within a year.   Furthermore, about the same percentage of new hires regret their decision to accept a new job during their first year.

15.4x High Performers

Employees who report to effective managers are 15.4x more likely to be high performers, 13.4% more engaged, 3.2X more likely to have high intent to stay and have a 12.%% higher physical and mental well being.

PEOPLE STRATEGIES THAT DELIVER FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR PEOPLE

Build a Team with Focus, Resilience, and Connection

As a business leader, setting the success factors for your team is essential. It all starts with having the right people on the team and creating an environment and work structure for them to succeed. With special attention to the dynamics of the team and how the team works together. Gaining clarity and alignment around goals, operating cadence, and values is foundational to achieve the results and keep the team productively engaged.

Many leaders have found it harder than ever to do this during the events of the last 4 years.  According to a recent study - 54% of managers are suffering from work-induced stress and fatigue.  

 

I'm Chris Palmer and I have the experience to help you move forward, feel in control of your situation and create a better quality of worklife for your team so that they can succeed.

Leadership Development - Chris Palmer

A recent McKinsey study showed that the highest performers in a role are 800% more productive than average performers in the same role. Companies that combine people and performance as their “signature style” dramatically outperform their peers as measured by Return on Capital, Revenue Growth, Employee Attrition and Economic Profit. As a former CHRO and now business owner, I bring the experience and perspective of working with a wide range of industries and leadership levels to help you find that optimal edge.

I work with leaders who are striving to operate at a higher altitude. They can’t do it alone, their team has to elevate their thinking and perspective as well.  Leaders stepping into, or evolving with the business into expanded scope, managing organizational upheaval, or preparing for board-level scrutiny are leading through high stakes transitions.   

I frame my coaching work as performance engineering more than personal development - though the experience will bring break through learning and change for you and your team as we work together.  These high stakes transitions require a more structured way of thinking about approaching bigger goals, bigger impact and building sustainable capability to maintain operating at a higher altitude.  

I’ve built this approach from learning from my clients.  They aren’t seeking coaching so much as looking for a structural upgrade to their personal operating system - how they think, decide, and lead.  Their motives vary, but without exception, they have a goal of elevating their team as much as themselves.
