Business In Transition?
Coaching for You, Your Leadership and Your Strategy as Your Transition Your Business
The journey of a transitioning business on paper may seem relatively straightforward, focus on the strategy and everything else falls into line.
After 25 years in this space we have found that companies going through significant transition; new ownership, new leadership, product pivot, turnaround or rapid scale, need more than just a great strategy, but the leadership to pull it off.
Using the Trail Markers we come into your business and partner with you through transition coaching you, your senior leadership and your strategy to achieve the best possible outcomes.
The Trail Markers
The Forged Leader and Five Essential Markers
To Know Who You Are And What You Need to Do Next
What Is A Forged Leader?
To forge is to move ahead in an effective and steady manner that is sustainable.
To be to be an effective and sustainable leader, forged leaders need to understand who they are and how to prioritize what they need to do next.
As avid trail enthusiasts, trail runners and mountain bikers, we at The Forged Leader have developed a framework called The Trail Markers to keep you focussed and on the right trail.
The Five Markers
The Trail Markers are for individuals and businesses alike to discover who they are and unpack what they need to do next.
The Forged Leader Trail Markers are knowing your purpose, understanding the strategies and tactics needed, getting the right people around you, building robust and effective communication and creating repeatable processes for yourself and others to run with.
Just like on a trail, markers one and two are the most important. The first trail marker tells us we are at the right trailhead, lays out the overall trail on a map or image and lets us know what to expect (purpose).
The second trail marker we find some way down the trail, a blaze, a sign, a landmark… this gives a second essential marker (strategy) to reinforce we are on the correct trail. Without these two critical markers the rest just does not make sense, and we may not even know if we are on the right trail or what to expect.
Trail markers three (people), four (communication) and five (repeatable processes) are constant reminders that we are on the right trail and should keep going, always checking in with trail markers one and two.
