The success of any organization is a direct result of senior leadership's ability to drive business strategy and operational excellence through their teams and together with their cross-functional partners. As top executives work to shape the corporate culture, lead their teams and set the example for the organization, they must strive for and commit to continuous personal learning and improvement in order to realize true leadership effectiveness, build total organizational capabilities and achieve optimal performance.
Leadership, as we have come to understand it, is intensely personal. As leaders advance in their careers, they are called upon to demonstrate competencies that are increasingly less technical and more personal in nature. Focus shifts from functional to relational mastery as success becomes largely dependent upon leaders’ abilities to build and maintain healthy and productive relationships and navigate effectively through organizations. In order for leaders to flourish, they must possess the necessary competencies and personality traits to perceive, interpret, and respond to the complexity that is inherent in organizational life. While the blueprint is different for every leader, the components for success are remarkably consistent and interrelated, and center on personal leadership effectiveness, relational capabilities and organizational agility.
Marcie Elias’ consulting practice is rooted in this leadership philosophy and informed by her advanced training in individual and organizational psychology. As a psychoanalytically oriented Organizational Psychologist, she leverages her deep knowledge of internal, relational and group dynamics to advise investors, CEOs and senior executives on the psychological dimensions of leadership and organizational life, and works with executive management teams from a similar vantage point to help them function and lead more effectively. As senior executives contend with managing through organizational and business complexities, they often require an outside advisor to serve as an unbiased sounding board and assist them in their pursuit of leadership effectiveness. Marcie’s executive assessment and coaching services offer a highly personalized approach to leadership development and are beneficial for senior leaders seeking a confidential means for developing the breadth and depth of their executive competencies to meet the unique challenges of leading organizations.
