CMi Merryck for CEOs current and future
CEOs are under increasing pressure to deal with new and complex demands from a growing variety of stakeholders. Today’s leaders must deliver at greater velocity and in more ambiguous contexts than ever before.
CEOs must routinely make decisions on matters they have never experienced before, many under the pressure of 24/7 public scrutiny. In such high-stakes situations, CEOs benefit from the sage counsel of a mentor who has both depth and breadth of experience as a CEO.
Deep Understanding
Our mentors offer timely, context-specific insight drawn from their own experience that is highly relevant to each CEO client. The choice of mentor and the topics discussed are driven by the mentee and their context, affording an unparalleled level of personalisation to the relationship.
Having sat in the hot seat as the CEO within complex organisations/situations, our mentors help CEOs make better decisions, fulfil stakeholder expectations, avoid costly mistakes and become more proficient in their roles faster.
“They say that history repeats, but throughout your career you are often faced with ‘firsts’. Having two very experienced mentors has been invaluable for me when navigating unknown terrain from significant unplanned management changes while undergoing a CEO selection process, and starting up as a CEO. The mentoring process has provided me with important perspectives and above all an inner calmness and clarity to do what I think is right.”
