Thank you for being part of my journey, and I look forward to sharing my most valuable content with you! Do You Struggle to Keep Up C-suite Performance?
Having been a member of many executive leadership teams over the years, October and November are typical months where #LeadershipTeam #offsites and #Retreats take place
As a #CEO, having the right executive team is essential for navigating today's complex business landscape. However, recent research from Russell Reynolds Associates reveals that only 40% of leaders feel confident in their C-suite's ability to drive performance!
So, what are the obstacles hindering C-suite team performance?
As always, Iāve done the reading and summarising on your behalf, so you can save your most precious asset, namely your time:
1. WHAT - Commitment & Alignment -> The clarity of purpose and goals, and level of alignment across the C-suite = 25% Impact
2. WHO - Composition & Structure + Capability & Skill -> The size and structure of the C-suite, the diversity of the leadership team, and role types = 18% Impact -> The relevance and quality of skills/experience toward forward-looking strategy & external issues = 23% Impact
3. HOW - Culture & Behavior + Continuity & Succession -> How well the team works together and enables the rest of the organization = 22% Impact -> The depth, diversity, and engagement of next-generation leadership talent = 12% Impact

āI have had the privilege of collaborating with Navid as my executive transition coach during a pivotal phase of my career. His expertise in executive transitions has been instrumental in navigating the complexities of my role, particularly as I faced the challenges of leading a regionally distributed and diverse team and aligning our strategic objectives with the broader goals of the organization. Navid's tailored approach allowed me to address immediate challenges while also focusing on long-term leadership development. His insights into stakeholder management and decision-making have helped me to foster stronger relationships within my team and across the organization. Furthermore, Navid has been supporting me and my leadership team with a bespoke Leadership Team journey. The impact of Navid's coaching has been profound. We have experienced notable shifts in our mutual respect, and our leadership style, which have not only improved our effectiveness but have also been recognized by peers and superiors. I wholeheartedly recommend Navid's services to any executive seeking to elevate their leadership capabilities and achieve sustainable success with their leadership teams.ā ___________________________________________________________________ Featured Events & Training Nominate me for the Thinkers50 Radar List of 2025 [Nominate Me Here] The Pilot Program for Certified Transition Coachā¢ has now closed. _____________________________________________________________________ About Navid NazemianRanked as the worldās #1 Executive Coach by CEO Today for the 2nd year running, I use interventions that are designed to overcome obstacles quickly.
