Stand out among the elite

Fix corporate dynamics spun out of control

You have plenty of responsibility without dealing with stressful interpersonal battles among your direct reports, yet every cliche from the leadership books you’ve read seems to have sprung to life in your division: turf wars, backstabbing, political gamesmanship, he-said/she-said scenarios, poisonous culture. It’s exhausting. And if you don’t figure out how to fix it soon, shareholders will add their own dissatisfied voices to the cacophony. Sometimes you might know precisely the source of the problem, whether it’s a structural issue in your organization or a personality or behavioral issue in an executive.

Knowing how to start the difficult conversations around the problem and how to shift stakeholders’ engagement, however, can be challenging. Dr. Fish can support your leaders through change and help calm tensions as fierce biases are set aside to enable forward motion in your organization again. Other times, multiple issues and players create a tangled mess of hidden motivations, entrenched positions and grating personalities, making it difficult to know how to shift the pieces without bringing productivity to a halt. Dr. Fish can assess the drivers behind the gridlock and work with key executives to challenge their thinking and to dismantle the barriers—both personal and organizational—to progress.
