What We Do

 

McAdams Road delivers specific, targeted advisory services to quickly impact executive performance. Our practice focuses on improving an individual leaders’ (or an executive team’s) ability to drive change and influence others – aligning attitudes and behaviors with successful models. Our process guarantees change that is fast… and lasts!

 

Are We There Yet?

Often the people you count on are a bit short on skills, experience, attitude – or just awareness. How long will it take to get them from here to there? Almost every CEO will tell you that their greatest strategic challenge in the coming years is to secure, develop and retain the talent necessary to compete in times of total change.

 

Do you have key leaders in key positions with key short-comings?

Our approach is a bit different… but our philosophy and processes enable us to get client executives down the road much faster and much further than you imagine possible. Are you ready? The universe is waiting.

Our Primary Services Include

Executive Alignment

Executive Alignments are intensive, fixed-time (6-month) engagements designed to create tight focus and significantly transform an executive’s acumen by helping them get out of their own way - building the road for their own personal revolution.

Executive Acceleration

Executive Acceleration are engagements, that our Advisor will serve as part teacher and part coach… with just a tad more mentoring to help the executive move and learn at a pace that matches the business challenges at hand.

Executive
Elevation

The Executive Elevation engagement is McAdams Road’s most “coaching”-oriented engagement and is designed to transform performance and satisfaction.

Executive Team Alignment

Whether it is a full blown corporate crisis, or more simply, an untenable rift between two key members of your Senior Management Team, your McAdams Road Advisor will assess, normalize, broker, mentor, and galvanize all affected parties to a swift and integrity-infused conclusion.
 

Executive Team Strategy

The McAdams Road Strategy Slam is a 48 hour disassembly and reassembly of your firm’s strategy, driven by a proprietary process and the minds of your key decision-makers and subject matter experts.

Our Process

A change in perspective is often all it takes…just one thing. New information.  New learning. A tilt of the head. Squinting one eye.. Breakthrough!  We believe that, if you can change the way you think… you don’t have to think about changing. And that makes change very fast – knocking the edges off, making you more aerodynamic, friction free. Changing you right where you stand.

To get to that change, we work The Three Angles of the DeltaSM which include finding REALITY, finding the ROOT, and finding RESONANCE.  These 3 angles comprise the change cycle that executives will use immediately to create intensive and iterative change.  More importantly, they will learn to employ the change cycle, promoting a life-time of positive, upward moving transformation.

 

Workflow

Individual Executive Assessment

Our process begins with the completion and review of a personalized assessment -- the first step in creating the 3D 360SM

Development Team Assessment

Your supervisors, direct reports, peers, customers and suppliers will assist in assessing our starting point through their participation in our 3D 360SM

Map the Journey

In this step, we set the transformation goals and measurements for development

Walk the Walk

Monthly ½ day development sessions with your advisor will guide your transformation (includes unlimited phone support)

Achieve & Celebrate

We stop and celebrate all victories along the way

Build Advisor Network Plan

Our engagements are fixed term because our focus is on empowering the executive to be the author of his or her continued transformation.

 

Our Results

Because each McAdams Road engagement is co-created by all those invested in the executive’s success,  "our results" is our favorite topic.  Our commitment to the executives we advise transcends our business aspirations and connects deeply  with the transformation and achievement goals of our clients. Our results include:

  • Measurable advancement in executive acumen
  • Achievement of identified alignment goals measured by:  participant self-evaluation and 3D 360 participant evaluations
  • The McAdams Road Guarantee (Half our skin is in the game)
