As a Chief Executive, you are accustomed to operating in high-responsibility, high-visibility environments. But when the company you lead is owned by private equity investors, the expectations and stress are next-level:

• You must consistently hit key metrics while managing the significant operational challenges, board expectations, and culture and team fallout that come with leading a company through change.

• Business stress at this intensity (and we aren’t even speaking of distressed business scenarios, which are far worse) creates physical stress for you. Sleep suffers and the executive thinking function is compromised. It is easy for this to become a destructive spiral.

• You’re given less time to achieve more… fewer “knowns” and higher expectations. It’s not an easy mandate and it certainly carries its risk of failure.

But with the right leadership coaching partner to keep you focused during the tough times and amplify your performance during the more straightforward ones, you can have an overall experience of smooth, sustainable success where value creation is an inevitability and all stakeholders benefit.
