Through 30+ years as a manager and an executive in large financial services institutions, I have led automation, rapid growth, digitization, technical and cultural transformations through downsizing, mergers, divestitures and regulatory drills. I determined that there was one common obsession demonstrated by the most effective leaders I worked with. This same obsession formed the basis for the culture in the most successful organizations that I have seen. It is an obsession with Clarity.
It has brought me to this understanding:
Set all the annual objectives you wish – unless you are creating a culture of Clarity, those objectives will not grow into sustained results. The conditions will simply not exist for success.
I provide coaching and guidance for executives and leadership teams to help them bring clarity into their own careers and to their organizations, so they can get the results that they desire, from business outcomes to increasing their time and energy. I focus on creating trust, reducing role ambiguity, and making shared team objectives more meaningful. For organizations, I go for immediate impact by starting with clarity of message and a true understanding of the interdependence required to drive toward a unifying shared purpose and objective, whether it be a large project or a transformation.
I formed Arcturus Advisory Services because I have seen organizations with cultures of systemic clarity do amazing things! I want to bring this to everyone that I can.
Here’s how I help:
- A confidential sounding board (and Certified Executive Coach) – To listen, debate and test potential strategies, tactical decisions and even career moves.
- An experienced executive to work across an organization, listening and correlating information and ensuring ideas are being surfaced so that a culture of clarity is forming.
- Systemic ClarityTM products and services that executives and their teams can apply so they can adapt to changing conditions and create sustained performance over time.
- A unifier that can bring the most mission-critical teams together and develop strong and positive leadership examples for the organization.
This is what clients of Arcturus get – the tools to create clarity and the sustained performance that results from it.
