At Gail Golden Consulting, LLC, we are business leaders who understand and apply the insights of psychology to the challenges of identifying and developing the best leadership talent. We know that effective and inspiring leadership is one of the most important keys to business success. Our model of leadership development is grounded in integrating broad psychological principles of leadership with the specific business imperatives of your company, in your industry, at this time.
We offer services both to individual business leaders to companies and organizations.
| Services for Individual Leaders | |
|---|---|
| Assessment | Self-awareness is a critically important part of business leadership. Using both formal psychological tools and in-depth interviewing, we help individuals to better understand their leadership style in order to make meaningful career choices and increase their leadership effectiveness. |
| Coaching | Even the most successful business leaders know that, like athletes, they can benefit from the perspective of a trusted advisor. As licensed psychologists who also have business experience and expertise, we offer a sophisticated approach to coaching which enables business leaders to rapidly accelerate their development. |
| Transition counseling | Almost every business leader experiences career transitions, whether planned or unplanned. We offer a full range of career transition services, including career counseling, resume writing, job search strategies, interview preparation, and personal support. |
| Services for Companies and Organizations | |
|---|---|
| Executive Assessment | We provide focused, customized psychological assessments, linked to the company’s key strategic leadership needs. Our assessment services include both selection assessments and developmental assessments. |
| Executive Development | Based on the data from our assessment process, we work with business leaders, their managers, and their HR partners to create focused, business-oriented leadership development plans. Utilizing performance coaching and other development approaches, we help companies to get the best from their senior leaders. |
| New Leader Integration | Companies invest considerable time and money in selecting new leaders, and their successful integration ensures the return on that investment. Our research-based model of integration helps new leaders quickly ramp up to full effectiveness, navigate the company culture, and build high-performance teams. |
| Team Building | Businesses cannot succeed without cohesive, high-performing senior teams. We help teams to integrate, develop their culture, identify and execute on their goals, and play nice in the sandbox. |
| Change Management | Most large-scale change initiatives fail to provide the predicted benefits because of insufficient attention to the people factors. After your strategy consultant has helped you develop a new approach for your organization, we help you align your leaders and their teams to actually do their work differently. |
| Outplacement Services | When companies must make a reduction in force, we provide a full range of counseling and educational services as part of the severance package you offer to your departing employees. |
| High-Potential Leadership Programs | Even in tough economic times, smart companies invest in the identification and grooming of their star leadership talent. We help companies to design robust talent assessment processes and provide customized leadership development to ensure the strength of their bench. |
| Succession Planning | All companies, small or large, need to plan for both orderly and sudden changes in their senior leadership team. We work with senior leaders to create their succession plan, identify talent gaps, and find creative ways to close those gaps. |
| Organizational Analysis | In times of change, business leaders need to have a thorough understanding of the strengths and weakness of their current leadership team and organizational structure. Using surveys and interviews, we provide an in-depth analysis of your current structure and recommendations to help you achieve your business objectives. |
| Management Due Diligence | Time and again, research has shown that most mergers and acquisitions fail to produce their predicted value, and the most common reason is lack of attention to cultural and management fit. As part of your m&a process, we provide an in-depth analysis of the senior team, answering your key questions about the leaders and evaluating their ability to lead the company through its current challenges. |
| Training | Part of developing superb leadership talent is providing training in complex leadership skills, such as giving candid feedback, handling difficult conversations, managing conflict, or fostering a climate of innovation. We offer custom-designed and professionally-delivered training modules to help you develop your leaders of today and tomorrow. |
| Board Support | A high-performance Board is a critical part of a company’s success. We provide support for developing and evaluating Board effectiveness, on-boarding new Board members, and crafting an effective relationship with the CEO. |
