Executive Leader Advising
Leaders face many challenges and opportunities. Having an experienced organizational leader walk with you through them can help you pursue excellence, gain wisdom, and find support as you navigate your leadership challenges today. Having an advisor to help you understand your roadblocks, see your strengths and growing edges, strategize for change, and face conflict with reduced anxiety, or address whatever issues you need to work on as a leader, can greatly increase your effectiveness. Nonprofit executive directors, senior pastors and other clergy, and board presidents can all benefit from ExcelOrg’s executive leader advising.
You may be interested in an initial consultation to explore how executive leader advising can benefit you and your organization. After that, you may wish to pursue one-time meetings as needed, a multi-session advising program for a specific goal, or an ongoing advising relationship with weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly consultation.
Board Development
Organizational boards are instrumental in the organization achieving its mission and in supporting the leadership team. Often, boards need to do development work to increase their effectiveness, build board relationships, and transform how they work.
We offer several ways to help boards pursue excellence:
- New Board Retreats
- Transforming Board Meetings for Mission
- Executive Committee Advising
Leading Change
All leaders and organizations must lead change for their organization to thrive in changing times. Once needed change has been discerned, the way that change is made can often determine the success or failure of the plan. In fact, the success of change in organization is far more likely if it is led with excellence. ExcelOrg can help you strategize for your planned organizational change, consult with you on how to minimize resistance, and vision with you on the positive renewal that will come.
Leadership Retreats
Your organizational leadership team can benefit from occasional time away from focusing on the day-to-day operations and look more at the bigger picture. You can grow in your understanding of each other’s strengths, how you work together effectively, and what issues may be getting in the way. A half-day, one-day, or two-day retreat led by ExcelOrg can bring the renewal that helps your organization achieve excellence.
Conflict Management
Every leader and organization faces conflict from time-to-time. Addressing conflict can drain energy from leaders, distract from mission, and lead to problems that could be avoided if the conflict is managed well. ExcelOrg can walk with leaders and boards in addressing conflict well, offer an experienced and outsider perspective on the way conflict is impacting your organization, and offer guidance in handling individuals and hot-button issues.
