Dear Alpha Executive

Dear Alpha Executive

Are you an Ultra High Achiever who recognizes you have some tendencies that could be limiting your upside?

Where would this world be without alpha males and alpha females—those powerhouse leaders who boldly take charge, drive astonishing results, and generate enormous value for their organizations? But many alpha executives also unintentionally leave a trail of damage in their wake- ranging from being too critical, impatient and easily frustrated to being overly domineering, too forceful and in some cases, belittling, abusive, bullying.

While these behaviors may have gotten you to where you are now, they won’t get you to where you want to go. In fact, do you know the #1 reason new CEOs fail? While "failed to execute the strategy" or a similar “business reason” is usually stated, it's almost always emotional intelligence-related: Unable to connect with the existing team, weak people skills, mismanaging change, conflict with the board, stakeholder blindness…the list goes on.

Thankfully, emotional intelligence can be developed. In replacing some bad habits with good, tweaking some outdated behaviors, my Alpha clients are transformed into superbly-balanced executives poised for even greater success.

"I am now a lot more trusting and empowering of my team. I was being too prescriptive, too much telling. It was almost condescending. I continue to expand my leadership portfolio. I was using commanding style for every situation, every problem was a nail and I was the hammer. Now, I am being more democratic and using coaching style. I'm probably a more pleasant person to be around, my blood pressure has dropped. I'm more at peace. Now focused on serving." Automotive Industry Executive Client
