Mark Friedman will be traveling to the St. Louis area to conduct a strategic alignment meeting for the management team of an Oil & Gas company.  When all stakeholders have the same target in mind, tangible results are easier to accomplish.  The objectives of the meeting are:

• Gain a clear and shared picture of department (or project) success, including metrics for success
• Agree on roles, goals, and procedures, and how team members can best work together
• Gain a clear accountability for each team member and their function
• Develop a process for effectively sharing information among all stakeholders throughout the company

We also have a fantastic software available that helps leaders track Mission, Vision, Goals, Objectives for all people in their department and helps keep plans and execution on track. 

This process is highly effective, and helps create a high level of energy, engagement, and commitment.  Contact us for more information: markf@mjfassociates.com or call 281-493-0641.

MJF Associates recently visited the Human Resources Association of Central Connecticut in Hartford to talk about Executive Coaching.  The topic was:  Executive Coaching: Can it help to Boost your Game?

The talk covers how leaders can hire and use a coach to help build solid strategic and tactical plans, as well as the skills needed to execute effectively.  The talk also covers the benefits of coaching and how, in the long run, coaching can have a big payoff -- think building a business case!

The objectives of the presentation are for participants to:

• Understand the role of a coach and how they can benefit the organization

• Be able to make better decisions about when to hire a coach, and who can benefit from coaching

• Make better selection decisions when hiring a coach

• Align the coaching approach with the needs of the organization

If you would like a slide deck and/ or a supplementary handout that provides specific tools such as an Individual Development Plan, send an email to: Mark Friedman   markf@mjfassociates.com.
