Executive Coaching
In association with Healty Companies International, Slade & Associates provides executive coaching to solve problems of leadership, change, performance and growth. We partner with senior leaders in large, complex companies in a variety of industries to help execute each CEO’s agenda while building healthy, high-performing organizations that create lasting value. We seek to deliver a distinctive client experience and create great results that exceed expectations. Our capabilities fall into three highly related areas.
Senior Leadership Development
Leadership is a dynamic process. We work with executives to identify, assess, and develop the leadership capabilities required to tackle tough performance challenges in an ever-changing business environment. Using executive coaching, individual and group facilitated learning, and customized curricula, we help CEOs achieve their current agenda while preparing leaders for future organizational success.
Executive Coaching and Team Building
Alignment is the key to effective and sustained performance. We help executives define priorities, plan for the implementation of strategic change initiatives, and align stakeholders around a shared direction. We then help leaders facilitate the execution and evaluation of their strategy, providing executive coaching and communication and leadership tools to support and mobilize teams.
Organizational Growth and Change
The best companies constantly renew themselves by driving growth. We help CEOs and their executive teams clarify where the organization is today and where they want it to go. Using research-based assessments, processes, and tools, we help plan and execute the human capital and organic growth strategies and performance improvement measures required to close the gap between the company’s current and futures states—creating an actionable roadmap for sustainable results.
