Leadership Development
Business is almost entirely dependent on the seller and the seller’s relationships or revenues are concentrated around a few customers. Addressing these hurdles begins with developing your bench strength.
When you work with PathFinder Group we will:
Help you articulate the core competencies required of leadership at every level within your operating environment.
Work with you to define your goals for developing current and future leaders.
Individually meet with each leader to help them develop their personal leadership plan.
Provide coaching to reinforce the goals and clarify the leadership principles being developed.
If you want to exert more control over the ultimate transition from your business you need to understand that buyers are buying your team and its ability to grow the company with new resources and added guidance, so no one would argue that leadership is unimportant. The skills of leadership are basic to overcoming the inertia that naturally prevents a company or project from moving forward.
The challenges of leadership are many and the more complex the operating environment the greater the challenges.
