THE EXECUTIVE RE-INVENTION PROGRAM™

Re-Invention--
Challenging--putting at stake the success
you have become, for the possibility
you can be.

Tracy Goss

The power that brought you to your current position of prominence is now preventing you from going beyond your past success and achieving what you must accomplish. The source of many failed organizational transformation efforts is that today's leaders are re-inventing everything but themselves.

For today's executive, change is a fact of life. Each day, the ability to learn new ways and deal with a constantly evolving world becomes more important. It isn't just that the rules changed (that has always been true over the course of history). It is the velocity of change in today's world that is unprecedented. Skills, talents and abilities that produced yesterday's successes are not sufficient to meet tomorrow's challenges.

Successful executives are committed to their organizations remaining on the leading edge. Yet the pace of change generates an unprecedented dilemma for leadership. A sustained track record of past success does not guarantee continuing successes in the years ahead. If the approach that has made one successful in the past no longer ensures success in the future, how do we re-invent ourselves?

The Executive Re-Invention Program™ is designed to address these questions in a way that provides a concrete and tangible way to re-invent oneself, and one's organization from a closed system that reacts, copes, improves incrementally, shaped by the past, and designed for survival to an open system that creates, generates, encourages risk, shaped by the future, and designed to on-goingly re-invent itself.

A point of departure for the Executive Re-Invention Program™ is that executives and organizations evolve a Winning Strategy™. This strategy, both subtle and profound, defines a way of being, a way of thinking. It focuses one's attention and establishes a world view. It constitutes a distinct-to-each-person "executive paradigm." This strategic paradigm that each executive evolves creates the box within which he or she operates and within which he or she leads his or her specific organization (division, department, etc.). This "executive paradigm" is what one sees through. As is the nature of all paradigms, it is invisible.

The Executive Re-Invention Program™ engages executives, key leaders, and executive teams in an inquiry that gives them direct access to uncover exactly what their individual Winning Strategy™ is and how it operates. This strategy is, at the same time, both the source of their competence and strength, and the source of the limits on their leadership, and their ability to act beyond the limits of the past. They also uncover the organization's specific Winning Strategy™ which determines the organizational reality of what is possible or not possible, and which keeps it stuck in its past failures and past successes.

Executive Re-Invention™ provides a specific and clear course of action to re-invent yourself as a leader by totally freeing yourself from the limits of your individual and organizational winning strategy. In the course of the program, you re-define your reality of the past, present and future and transform your relationship to taking risks, winning, action, and being extraordinary. This creates a shift in one's ability to invent, design, lead, implement, and manage an organizational future that is not an extension of, or a reaction to the past. The Re-Invention Methodology™ gives you direct access to continuously free yourself from the past and to acquire the power to recognize the impossible and turn the impossible into possible and the possible into reality. For any executive or leader engaged in re-inventing their organization, industry, or country, the ability to accomplish this is essential.

WHO EXECUTIVE RE-INVENTION™ IS FOR

This program is designed for senior executives and key leaders throughout an organization who are secure in their own success yet willing to acknowledge and explore the limits of that success to challenge what they have become for the possibility they can be.

Executives who have already succeeded according to the conventional standards of their industry or profession.

Executives who face a future of "getting still better at what they already do very well."

Executives who have a restless inquisitiveness, a relentless curiosity that has them always seeking the next challenge.

Executives who must be a transformational catalyst in their organization and are questioning that which has enabled their success to date will no longer suffice to accomplish what they and their organization are committed to for the future.

Executives whose accountability and commitment to the future of their organization is such that they are inquiring into or already engaged in a re-design of their leadership to match their commitments.
