Bold, decisive and inclusive.
You need all three.
Your impact requires you to not only activate your vision and wisdom, but also to leverage the insights, perspectives and resources of others.
It requires you to be On Purpose Together.
Here are four resources for you in that journey:
1. The Bold, Decisive and Inclusive Decision Framework. Free, in your inbox right away.
2. The Collaborative Leadership Assessment and Profile. About 10 minutes and the profile iscustomized to your answers.
3. Working together. Book a call to explore the ways to work with me, including Collective Counsel, beginning in January.
4. Keep listening: Fire That Gathers Podcast
Bold, Decisive and Inclusive Decision Framework
When you sign up, the Bold, Decisive and Inclusive Decision Framework comes right to your inbox.
In a 6-month cohort I ran for Foundation CEOs, the question the leaders kept holding was how to honor their values of participation and inclusion and still be bold enough to meet this moment. Their struggles, opportunities and 15 years of working with purpose-led leaders seeded this Framework. CEOs have since sent it to their full leadership teams and used it to open every leadership meeting.
The Framework acknowledges the paradox that to meet this moment leaders must be both decisive and inclusive -- and provides a quick tool that you can use to hold both, with clarity for you and transparency and participation for your team.
The Collaborative Leadership Assessment & Profile
The Assessment provides a clear picture of how you prefer to engage in moments of heat: the strength you count on, the tool you might be leaving on the table, and the one move for your collaborative leadership to grow.
Our preferred way of engaging is comfortable and practiced. It shows up when your leadership team is setting priorities, in an important negotiation, and when planning an important family event.
What you'll receive
Your Collaborative Leadership Profile, customized to your answers: where you are today, your current strength, your highest-leverage pillar to grow, and one practice to build it.
How it works
The assessment is quick: 7 to 10 minutes. The Profile goes deep. You'll see your hammer, the tool you reach for most often in moments of heat, and the one you may be afraid to use. Take it first for your professional relationships, then your close personal ones, and you might find a skill you already have, ready to come to work with you.
Why you can trust it
Your Collaborative Leadership Profile draws on 20 years of work with leadership teams and a decade teaching collaboration and negotiation at Stanford. In that time I've worked with hundreds of seasoned leaders. They navigate conflict constantly, and they rarely take a moment to reflect on their patterns. When they do, they see what's working and why, what they're missing in moments of heat, and the one move that makes them an even more collaborative leader. Your Profile gives you that moment.
Working together
If something here resonated and you're curious to connect, book your free conversation and we can explore working together.
I work with people whose decisions ripple through industries, cities and global systems, leaders carrying both immense responsibility and immense possibility. And I'd love to explore doing that work with you.
Collective Counsel, my curated circle for purpose-led founders, funders and executives, begins in January.
