Leadership Transitions Coaching
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. John Wooden
Transitioning to new leadership positions is often accompanied by the excitement of new challenges coupled with the fear of failure. Studies show that, in Canada, transitioning leaders' efforts to effect positive change, are most commonly frustrated by:
- Navigating corporate politics
- Their inability to get work done through others
A successful transition requires:
- clear performance expectations
- guidance and support from bosses, colleagues and peers, and
- a great deal of professional drive
- motivation and personal courage

We cannot help to influence any situation without respect for the complex network of people who contribute to our organizations.Meg Wheatley, Leadership and the New Science.
The world of the 1990s and beyond will not belong to 'managers' or those who can make the numbers dance. The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders—people who not only have enormous amounts of energy but who can energize those whom they lead. Jack Welch, ex-CEO of General Electric
