DON'T LET THE URGENT GET IN THE WAY OF THE IMPORTANT
Try as we might, the urgent has a habit of getting in the way of the important. Especially on those giant accounts. If any of these statements ring true, I’m here to help plug the gap.
We have a top-to-top, but the team is too stretched to prepare effectively. I need to support them with someone who can co-ordinate across multiple teams and do the deep work needed to show up well.
There are important strategic questions from clients and proactive initiatives that are always being relegated to the back burner. I know they could add value, or even drive growth, but it seems impossible for the team to prioritize given workloads.
The leadership team does a great job but after years at the coalface, clients are hankering for a fresh perspective. How can we bring some outside perspective into the room in a meaningful non-threatening way?
I'm worried we're not exhibiting enough thought-leadership in fast developing areas like AI, econometrics or multicultural marketing. How can I support the team to deliver exec level thought leadership that is more than network brochureware and thoughtfully applied to the needs of clients' business.
I have practical experience responding to all the scenarios above.
