In crucial situations you just need an outside perspective, competent advice and direct support, e.g. when taking up an executive position, making important career decisions, carrying out strategic tasks, such as restructuring processes, or achieving demanding goals.
„In crucial situations, the right sparring partner can help you see matters more clearly“
Dear executives:
You are expected to manage enormous challenges: independently developing a sustainable strategy, reaching demanding annual targets, ensuring the performance of your staff and building successful teams, as well as the high demands placed on you by your supervisors and that you set yourself. All too often, this pressure to succeed gives rise to conflicts that may also impair your own performance.
I am aware, from countless discussions with executives, that there is a lack of appreciation in their companies, that the main focus is on assessments, reaching – or not reaching – the targets set. Many feel downright de-motivated by this lack of recognition or the conduct they have experienced. They are considering a move to regain control of their workload and try out new opportunities. Targeted coaching can often help in analyzing difficult leadership situations and finding a solution.
I gladly also offer my support to those seeking guidance in career matters. Quite often, executives have no understanding of internal talent management. . They perceive it as a “black box” that is not transparent. Let us work together on questions like “What steps do I now have to take for myself and my career?“ or “What type of network do I need and how can I be considered for internal succession planning?” I also offer in-depth preparation for internal selection processes as well as support before and after secondment abroad.
I look forward to being your confidential, discreet sparring partner.
Yours sincerely,
Irene Krapp
