200-level Leaders

The 200 to 300 journey

The 200-level leader is a reliable, trustworthy producer. The expectation of a 200-level leader on their way to 300-level is subject-matter expertise in their area of the business, as well as the ability to manage multiple strategic initiatives simultaneously, effectively manage competing priorities, and accurately quantify tradeoffs to senior management to enable decision-making. Furthermore, leading at this level includes the development of a strong team and the individual talent on it (to maintain a pipeline of talent and ensure succession) and continuous improvement in their area of the business.

Common pinch point: 300-level thinking requires a 30,000-foot perspective, yet the Manager/Senior Manager is stuck in the operational weeds of the day-to-day.

Solutions for 200-level leaders

Individual and Cohort

Executive Coaching

The ground truth is that the more effective your leaders are, the better your business performs. Adaptation is learn/unlearn/relearn in motion, and it is so much easier, faster, and more fun with our coaches.

I have been fortunate to attend leadership sessions in my former jobs. However, this work has been the most meaningful and impactful to my actual work and leadership. My group coaching + the work we're doing as a team (Comms Dept) has helped me question my challenges, shore-up my strengths and practice what I would like to do differently.
