COACHING:
Smith & Donahue is an leadership advisory firm assisting Presidents and their executive teams to develop realistic strengths & supportive relationships for building, leading & and managing a self renewing business.
EXECUTIVE RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT:
Supportive executive relationships determine business success. Smith & Donahue works with executive "partners" ~ Board/President, CEO/COO, President/Vice-President, and executive teams ~ to build Working<->Partnerships capable of growing a fun & profitable business.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT:
When leaders & executives play to their strengths, they realize their potential to achieve their vision and goals. The leader embodies the culture. Consensus-determined teams still need old fashioned leadership.
720° EXECUTIVE COACHING:
720° interviews, shadowing, team interactions, candid feedback, manage-to-strengths action plans, inside and outside coaching, help executives rediscover their identity and play to their strengths.
TEAM DEVELOPMENT:
Executives who care for each other bring out the best in each other. They think independently, work interactively and help each other succeed. Build Working<->Partnerships and the team builds itself. Effective teams demonstrate the very goals they're striving to achieve. The longer the team takes to come together the less likely it will happen.
VISIONING:
Smith & Donahue brings energy and support to creating self generating action plans that align and energize diverse points of view. Building common ground ~ a partnership between all stakeholders ~ makes the vision more accessible to everyone.
CULTURE:
The culture is a living, evolving tool for prying open the market place. Cultures which take forever to change are not self renewing. The shape of self renewing cultures is determined by a few guiding principles, not complex controls.
