The
path to corporate management can often feel vague, ambiguous and
isolating. Promoted on merits of a "job well done,"
people suddenly find themselves in management positions with entirely
new responsibilities. Having mastered skills in more junior positions,
executives often struggle to navigate unchartered terrain with
the ease and success they previously enjoyed. Executive Coaching
provides executives at all levels with the structure and support
needed to accelerate the development process. With regular coaching,
clients learn to:
- Define a
vision for their role/position
- Identify
and prioritize key challenges and responsibilities with particular
regard to management issues
- Create processes
that support timely completion of responsibilities
- Develop an
effective management style based upon compassion and respect
- Sharpen all
aspects of communication
- Increase
flexibility and creativity, particularly under pressure
- Manage the
stress of new challenges with ease

The ability
to maintain fruitful relationships with internal and external business
partners is essential for corporate success. Breakdowns in communication
and ensuing conflict can upset even the most productive business alliances.
In these
instances, mediation is an invaluable tool that empowers even the
most damaged relationship to flourish going forward.
Mediation for
Team Alignment provides neutral, outside mediation and conflict
resolution services that restore conflicted partnerships. Relationships
are rebuilt using principles of collaborative negotiation. During
the process of mediation, the mediator is continually modeling collaborative
bargaining skills that parties or teams learn and incorporate into
their daily, interpersonal relationships. This ensures that positive,
collaborative interaction will certainly outlast the conflict at
hand.
While engaging
in MFA, inter-divisional partners and or teammates join in a process
that enables them to:
- Access a
non-judgmental forum, facilitated by a neutral mediator, to share
mutual concerns
- Meet face-to-face
to communicate openly
- Better understand
one another's wants and interests, regarding various relationship
"hot points"
- Overcome
obstacles
- Refrain from
assigning blame
- Create custom
resolutions acceptable to all parties
- Create negotiated
working agreements through facilitated, frank discussion.
- Maintain
control over vital decisions affecting their work lives
- Generate
an agreement that outlines how the parties will work together
moving forward
Phase I
Diagnostics: Prior to joint discussion, the mediator meets participants
individually to determine objectives and desired outcome.
Phase II
(optional): Formal presentation of diagnostic assessment to all
involved members
Phase III:
Mediation process
FAQ's regarding
MFA:
In what types
of relationships is MFA appropriate?
- To rehabilitate
an at-risk company-client relationship
- To rejuvenate
intra-company team/divisional partnerships in which effective
interaction is essential
- To remedy
discord and reduce stress among valued employees, who must work
together, but find their partnership is not operating effectively
or efficiently
- To improve
dialogue and dynamics between a vendor and vendee or any other
service provider relationship, whether at risk or not
How long
does this process take?
It depends on
the issues at hand and the number of parties involved. MFA can take
as little as two hours or continue as long as participants believe
they are working productively. A typical Phase I-III process requires
2 business days, in terms of committed hours.
Why use an
outside third party?
An outside mediator is a true neutral with no political ties to
any organization or a vested interest in the outcome. This independence
encourages honesty, trust and open discussion among the participants.
