Six Patterns That Sabotage Executive Performance

While evaluating 953,200 executives in thousands of companies, we uncovered six patterns that sabotage performance.  For example, some executives achieve great results for a while. But their performance is erratic. When they can’t make a difference or don’t receive recognition, they cycle between extraordinarily positive and extraordinarily negative performance.

Others achieve great results, then slip into mediocre performance. They have competing internal drivers and fall prey to an internal power struggle. They rarely achieve remarkable careers because they can’t stomach rejection.  Many are conflict averse.

Why Our Executive Coaching Services Produce the Best ROI

A one-size-fits-all prescription can severely exacerbate underlying issues, especially with senior executives. Instead, the Optimal Thinking leadership coach provides an objective sounding board and specific guidelines to best overcome each limitation.

Your Optimal Thinking executive coach consistently deploys the mindset to optimize performance. Together, you:

  • Use the best practices of the most successful leaders
  • Develop and maintain critical leadership skills to best deal with crises and competition
  • Align individuals and your team with the corporate values and objectives
  • Optimize trust, accountability and performance with your boss, peers and direct reports
  • Minimize turf protection and optimize conflict management skills
  • Optimize in-person and virtual executive people skills
  • Create “Best Place to Work” on-site, virtual and hybrid work environments
  • Avoid burnout, and balance your personal and professional lives

Companies often experience our executive coaching services as their most profitable investment. Check out this video to learn more.
