BECOMING A BETTER LEADER
Many managers spend years learning how to do their work well. When they become excellent at it, they are often promoted to lead the people doing the work they once did themselves.
But expertise is not leadership.
Being good at the work does not automatically mean being good at leading people. And yet, most organizations make that assumption. This is how organizations end up with managers, micromanagers, and ultimately unhealthy working environments.
I help executives make the difficult shift from being responsible for the work to being responsible for the people doing the work. Leadership is a skill. Like any skill, it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened over time. Each leader is unique, and so is each engagement. My work requires 6 to 12 personal interviews with board members, peers, and managers who interact closely with the leader and unfolds over a 12 months period,
All my engagements are designed around measurable, observable leadership change. Progress is judged not by intention, but by the real results observed by those who work with the leader.
How many of the Top 10 tennis players in the world have coaches?
All of them.
Why would we think that these greats need help, and we in top leadership positions can do it by ourselves?

“Carlos realized I often struggled to display executive presence, which undermined my communication impact. This gap not only hindered my personal growth but also impacted my effectiveness as a leader in PostFinance’s dynamic landscape. Addressing these issues was crucial for my career and the success of the teams I lead.”
João P. Oliveira, Senior Leader, PostFinance Switzerland
BIOGRAPHY
I am the Director of the Executive MBA in Switzerland. I hold a Ph.D. in Management Science.
Earlier in my career, I ran a digital company and later served as Managing Director of the Silicon Valley Founder Institute technology accelerator. I have worked one-on-one with over 100 entrepreneurs and have since worked with thousands of executives from companies such as Nestlé, Swatch, Alcon and UBS.
My reputation as a supportive, results-oriented professional is grounded in my experience running Leadership programs, a scientific foundation in Management Science, and a hands-on approach to one-on-one leadership development.
As a leadership speaker, I have shared the stage with individuals such as best-selling author Daniel Pink, award-winning photographer Platon and Brian Smith, founder of UGG, among others.
MEASURABLE LEADERSHIP GROWTH
A lot of what passes for leadership development can be a waste of time. I can say this first-hand as Director of an Executive MBA program.
See if you recognize this process:
-
Your company taps you as a future leader. It sends you to "leadership camp," which can last anywhere from a day to a couple of weeks.
-
You're entertained by a parade of speakers (like me!).
-
You're required to critique the speakers and rate how effective they were.
But nobody is rating you. Nobody is following up to see what you learned or if you have actually become a more effective leader.
Leadership should be measured. All my work aderes to strict metrics of performance.
“Successful people become great leaders when they learn to shift the focus from themselves to others.”
Marshall Goldsmith
# 1 leadership thinker in the world by Thinkers50 and Harvard Business
