Understanding Your Stakeholders
The wisdom of stakeholders is invaluable. When you see the world through their eyes, you can chart a way forward that threads the needle of needs and generates greater momentum. I give leaders a way to quickly gather unvarnished perspectives and constructively make sense of both common ground and hidden roadblocks.
Aligning on Direction
Alignment begins with a shared understanding of the problem. I help teams navigate complexity, converge on what’s most important, and agree on a path that is both strategic and tangible. The result is a clear direction that people agree with, understand, and can own, because they helped shape it.
Crystallizing Your Story
To rally others to your cause and stay the course, you’ll need a compelling narrative that moves people forward. I help distill strategy – where you’re headed, why it matters, how you’ll get there – into language and concepts that resonate and are easily shared.
Josh moves hearts and minds. He is so good at being able to walk into an organisation about which he knows very little, quickly understand what leadership is looking for, and then convene employees and others from different groups with widely disparate views. He then pulls all that together into something absolutely compelling. Andy Byford Former CEO, Toronto Transit Commission; President, MTA New York City Transit; Commissioner, Transport for London
