We are launching three versions of our professiional mastermind FlightPaths. Here's what they are all about for corporate executives, senior leadership and director-level-and-above management.
Why - FlightPath Executives:
Leadership in corporate life transcends the mere possession of prestigious titles, plush offices or enjoying the entitlements that accompany them. Executives across for-profit, not-for-profit, and public circles shoulder enormous responsibilities, The job is tougher than its ever been, Leadership-related anxiety has spiked, tripling since pre-COVCID 2019 (Source: WSJ). Fully forty percent of CEOs don't believe their companies will be able to weather the next decade of change (Source: PwC CEO Report).
Massive levels of uncertainity abound, Difficult decisions lurk around every month and quarter. Demanding and unswerving accountability for outcomes exists at every turn. Cultures are riven apart by the forces of remote work and back-to-office movements. Employees and peers expect you to be a role model and act as an unwavering example, even in the face of chaos and big challenge. The burden of leadership is a privilege, an opportunity to empower others to unlock their potential and achieve greatness ... but it can feel heavy, very heavy.
Executives nowadays are expected to be gallant superheroes, humble servant leaders, omniscient strategists and tirelesss executors, all wrapped in one. With such a daunting, precaious role, wouldn't it be great to have an experienced and co-vested executive pit team standing in your corner?. We had the same idea.
Who - FlightPath Executives:
The ideal candidates for FlightPath Executives have a few things in common:
Dramatically new career stage or situation: you may have been recently promoted or transitioned into your new role, have taken on a broadening assignments, or reached a new milestone or plateau in yoiur career - in either of these cases, the landscape may feel unfamiliar and foreboding.
Executive imposter syndrome: we have all faced it at some point in our lives - a feeling of inaequacy and self-doubt that makes you wonder, "am I qualified enough for this job?" - confidence and feelings of competence need to be shored up.
Headwinds and tailwinds of uncertainty: .call it polycrisis, permashifts or Grey/Black Swans, but you are not dreaming, change and unknowns are now a constant of your professional life - how do you get and stay ahead of them of the ones that keep you up at night.
Professional Energy in the Red Zone: new corporate leadership, organizational purpose and direction changes, culture makeover or corporate transformation have got you into a professional lull, perhaps even burnout - to be successful, your batteries need to be recharged.
Siloed and Solitary Leadership: despite vast knowledge, experience and accomplishments, you own that feeling at many times, that you might be the only one seeing and championing the things the way you do.
What - FlightPath Executives:
In-company mentorship, industry netwiorking and professional development courses, simply aren't cutting it, here's what our FlightPath Masterminds can do for you:
Executive mentorship/advice: get input from a global bench of senior level of profesisonals who have experienced the ups and downs and vicissitudes of the C-suite and senior professional life.
100 Day Plans: Transitions are a critical time for leaders and place leaders in acute vulnerabilty, FlightPaths give you a chance to start fresh, balance thinking and doing, and make needed action-focused changes to your organization with confidence.
Outside-in Ideas and Methods: you can't possibly know everything yourself, FlightPaths offer a safe, leading edge and credible portal to the outside world of what works, and what's next, in how you address challenges.
C-Level Accountability: FlightPaths comprise professionals who understand the importance, internal politics and risks of corporate life, and will you support you in the need for focus, habits and resilience in achieving bolder objectives.
