Parallel Management Consulting
Confidently manage your people and your profitability in parallel.
Creating an engaged, profitable team means effectively managing strategy and culture in parallel.
Unfortunately, most of us are good at one or the other: Either we excel with people, or we excel with systems and structure.
If you’re a manager, it’s up to you to make sure both your team and your systems are operating smoothly. That likely means stretching outside your comfort zone.
Stretching isn’t easy, but if you want a productive, profitable team, it’s worth it. We can help.
Self-awareness coaching & goal alignment
If you’re working with people, it’s not a question of if conflict will occur – it’s a question of when. As a manager, how do you make effective decisions in the face of conflict? How do you identify the right way forward?
Self-awareness is the answer.
Who are you? What do you really want? Your answers to questions like these will guide you through the storm of conflict, allowing you to productively resolve issues and keep your team moving forward.
Increase your self-awareness, improve your ability to resolve conflict, and align your team’s actions to achieve team goals.
Action planning & delegation
Feeling overwhelmed as you try to figure out how to support your team? You may be inclined to take it all on yourself rather than burdening your team by asking them for more.
But the most effective teams are led by managers who successfully engage, motivate, delegate, and develop their people, not the ones who try to do it all.
With support from your Parallel Management Guide, discover your personal management style and learn how your style influences the way you direct, delegate, and motivate.
Strategic introductions
It can be lonely at the top. But that doesn’t mean you have to be alone. Everyone needs accountability, and it helps when it comes from someone with a little outside perspective.
If you’ve got ambitious goals or projects in the works, and you’re finding it hard to stay the course, a little accountability might be just the thing you need.
Your Parallel Management Guide can give you just the boost you need to get the job done.
