Five Primary Areas

LEADER DEVELOPMENT

Anderson Keegin & Associates, Inc. work with executives and senior managers to develop and sustain leadership capacities which set your organization apart from the competition.  This may involve assessing current capabilities, coaching leaders to achieve higher performance, integrating personal development with organizational strategy, enhancing team leadership at all levels, and engaging others in a compelling vision for the future.

A sampling of Organizational and Executive Consulting Engagements include:

• Preparing the President of a global corporation to successfully assume the additional role of Chief Operating Officer (subsequently named CEO)
• Developing the leadership capabilities of a CEO’s senior management team, including individual assessment, career path planning, and offsite team-building sessions.
• Enhancing the capabilities of a North American Sales and Distribution Executive through assessment, feedback, and leadership development.
• Developing the skill sets of selected High Potential Leaders in support of anticipated succession planning requirements.
• Restoring the career momentum and organizational endorsement of a valued but interpersonally difficult Corporate Officer.
• Fostering a more collaborative style in an autocratic Manufacturing Executive responsible for a flagship facility.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

In transforming your strategic intent into operating practice, vibrant leaders must continually challenge themselves and their teams by “raising the high bar” of competitive excellence.  We assist key contributors in aligning their operating goals and resources, developing shared values and interdependence, working with the dynamics of change, reconciling interpersonal dilemmas, utilizing performance feedback, and fostering the mastery of new skillsets.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT

By linking career passions with opportunities for growth and advancement, we assist individuals in engaging their lifework. Beginning with in-depth assessment and “straight from the shoulder” feedback, participants are challenged to take responsibility for their careers.  Then, through the powerful tool of action learning, they are coached in “closing the gap” between what is and what could be.

TRANSITION / OUTPLACEMENT

Frequently, career paths become blocked through erosion of endorsement when key leaders experience difficulty in adjusting to new assignments, reporting relationships, or shifts in business conditions.  We help realign committed parties around mutually acceptable outcomes, re-establishing career momentum either within or outside of the current organization.  Even outplacement can become a win-win option.

Career Transition Program Components Include:

1.  1 on 1 Coaching with a counselor.
2. Adjusting to the Job Loss
3. Understanding Yourself and Exploring Options
4. Preparing Marketing Materials and Presentations
5. Networking and Research the Market
6. Instruction in online resources (i.e., LinkedIn)
7. The Art of Interviewing
8. Managing the Campaign
9. Negotiation Strategies
10. Thriving in the New Position

ONBOARDING / INTEGRATION

Our integration coaching ensures that newly hired leaders become solid and productive contributors quickly and effectively. We fully support leaders as they build a foundation for long-term success in their new position or work environment. Sessions typically address areas such as: leadership presence, clarifying leadership vision and style, managing people, attaining a global view, critical conversations, dealing with poor performance, managing accountability, and building trust with executive teams and in other business relationships.
