SERVICES AND PROGRAMS The Peter Wendel Group will guide you and your associates as you develop an approach to the orderly transition of leadership, assuring the future success and long term sustainability of your company.
We begin with an organizational assessment to establish a mutual understanding of “Where you are” – your people and the unique capabilities, constraints and challenges of your current situation. STRATEGIC PLANNING/ACTION PLANNING The success of your company begins with a ‘vision’ of the future you want to create together. It’s a description of where you want to go, what you want to become. When the group works together to develop their vision, alignment and personal commitment build. People are focused on achieving their shared vision; their energy is concentrated like a laser beam, and the company moves to a new level of performance. With a clear picture of where you are and where you want to go, you are now ready to develop an action plan to close the gap, to move toward the future you want to create. You will identify Action Areas where you will focus your resources to create the desired results and form Action Teams with measurable results and milestones. In a series of off-site sessions formatted to meet your needs (several half days, a series of full days or a multi-day retreat) we will guide you as you choose your shared vision, identify action areas and form action teams to move you from where you are to where you want to be. Achieving your vision depends upon people being able to work together, to align individual actions to bring the vision into reality. When people learn to work together, the organization moves to a higher level of performance. Team skills are the threads that weave through the organization, holding it together. Without team skills, relations are ineffective, sometimes competitive and dysfunctional. Information, essential to making timely, effective decisions, does not flow freely. Team skills enable people to communicate openly, resolve differences and work together effectively, achieving the organization’s vision while staying true to your values. The Peter Wendel Group provides training and support to build team skills by helping people:
We have a wide range of tools to apply to each client group’s special situation. Our approach is based on the experiential learning model. In this model, participants work together in activities that are similar to ‘real work’ experiences. Then, we debrief the activity where they identify what they learned and discover how they can apply this new understanding to work situations. Then new material is introduced that the participants can apply back in their work place. We work with groups in a series of interactive sessions tailored to meet your needs – in half day, full day and multi-day formats. Different people have different aspirations, different strengths and different talents. Your challenge is to identify each person’s unique contributions and build a strong organization by designing positions that capitalize on those strengths. (Right people in the right seats – Good to Great, James Collins) Not all people want to be leaders or have the ability to lead. The challenge is to recruit and develop the next generation people with leadership potential and create opportunities for them to their full capabilities. We combine interviews and personality instruments to help pinpoint each person’s unique strengths and identify specific positions to capitalize on those strengths and build the company. In addition, we facilitate meetings with each person and their supervisor to lay out a career development program that maximizes each person’s contribution and builds the company’s effectiveness. The ‘Grand Transition’ of senior leaders from work to retirement has a major impact on both the retiring leaders and the organization. It is essential that the transition be thought out in advance so that it can be implemented over a long period. Effective transfer of responsibilities to the next generation is essential to insure that the transition is both orderly and effective so the future organization has ‘staying power.’ Stepping back from the decision making role is often a major challenge, especially when that person is the founder or in a key management position. Combining a series of interviews and team meetings, we work within the organization and with individuals to guide the planning and execution of the transition. Then we serve as coach and counselor over the transition period. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT/INDIVIDUAL COACHING The future survival and growth of the company depends upon the development of a strong leadership team. Creating those teams needs to take place at multiple levels of the organization. It is an ongoing process when each person develops their skills to:
The format combines interviews, individual coaching and training, often in one to one sessions (a combination of in-person and phone), with an experienced former CEO who has over thirty years of experience working with executives and organizations. This may entail counseling, identifying personal strengths, goal setting, monitoring progress, etc. Some training sessions may take place in external groups so that the participants can expand their knowledge base by interacting with leaders with backgrounds from other organizations.
