How do your managers add value to your company?
Do they do true leadership and management work, such as setting goals, planning, coaching and communicating, or do they practice "executive supervision"? As your company has evolved and grown, have you changed the focus of your management staff? Or have you simply promoted technical people into management positions?
If we don't teach people how to lead, how can we expecting them to become leaders?
The leadership resources in your company needs regular care and feeding, just like any other part of your business. The following services will provide dramatic returns on your investment.
Executive Team Development
First, the executive team must define their individual roles and responsibilities. Then they must contract
with each other for specific "supplier-customer" relationships. Finally, the executive team must agree what will be decided
by the team and what by the individual managers.
|
Organization Development
This involves systematically aligning every part of organization the with its Mission, Vision and Values, and with its core business processes. Each employee participates by developing the skills necessary to support the overall goals of the organization. |
Executive Coaching
Often, managers have good intentions but have trouble managing effectively. They can benefit from Training, in such areas as Communications, Systems Thinking, Strategic Planning, etc. They can also benefit from Coaching, or personal feedback on specific leadership issues.

Succession Planning and Business Continuation
The organization must have both robust business systems and a "stable" of management talent to assure the long-term continuity of the business. Your company is only as good as your management. InterLINK can help you develop this vital capability. |
"The InterLINK team gave us the tools necessary to facilitate implementation of a shared leadership culture. Through InterLINK we achieved our objectives for people to take more responsibility and initiative, hold each other accountable, understand how to work as an effective team, and be willing to openly address learning lessons to improve performance. As a result we are nearly three months ahead of last year in planning, our performance and morale are climbing, and I am personally investing less time solving problems and more time on vital cultural and strategic issues." - F.A. Macefe, President, Penn Telecom
Below is a summary of some Interlink projects
We developed the leadership team, the organization, and the succession plan needed to support the inter-generational transfer of management responsibility within a family-owned business. Immediately thereafter, the company entered an unprecedented period of growth and record profits.
We evaluated leadership styles and matched these with leadership roles, in a multi-office financial services firm. We developed a "leadership contract", which created a true executive function for the first time in the company's fifty-year history. The executive team sponsored a complete redesign of every management system, entered new markets and experienced a significant gain in the company's value.
By helping an executive team create an understanding of systems throughout the leadership ranks, we doubled the size of a local manufacturing company. Part of this effort included the design and implementation of a Leadership Development process linked to an Employee Development process.
We implemented a comprehensive program of leadership team assessment, coaching, team development, and training at an advertising agency. This allowed the smooth transfer of power to new management in the wake of a buy-out and the retirement of the original owner.
We instituted a program of executive development and coaching for a financial services provider. After the initial success, we instituted team building throughout the ranks, based on an appreciation of personality styles of the individual staff members. The leadership skills and teamwork allowed the organization to achieve new heights of performance. It also allowed them to solidify their personal client relationships in this very "person-centered" business.
