The "Keystone Alignment" advisory
Target: The top-level executive / the Founder
If candidate and sponsor agree on the fix, the stakeholders will be the jury.
For high-stakes mandates, we offer a separate Marshall Goldsmith Stakeholder Centered Coaching® (MGSCC) engagement.
We use this world #1 methodology to coach the top level executive (in some instances could be the The Founder) on how to integrate, empower, and align with their key stakeholders.
-
Goal: Eliminate "rejection risk" and ensure the existing leadership structure supports the top level executive.
-
The Mechanism: We enroll your top-level executive as the "Coachee" and the team around them as "Stakeholders" creating a structure for alignment and trust.
Our Guarantee: No Measurable Leadership Behavioral Improvement, No Pay.
