At Breakpoint we know how much leadership matters. We are trusted by CEO’s, executives, boards and high-potential employees, to deliver knowledge, insights and results that have a lasting impact. We help organizations and executives undergoing change understand that having the right leadership and culture is key to creating an aligned workforce that unleashes the full potential of the organization.

The landscape of business is changing. New aptitudes and capabilities are needed. Strategic priorities are shifting. Leadership selection and transition is more difficult. Organization culture and the performance of the enterprise are now shared strategies. There is mounting influence from investors on diversity and social impact.

The demands on top leaders to set strategy for the organization, to restructure, and reshape cultures to meet stakeholder expectations are unique. This is especially true for the CEO. They are charged with helping the leadership team focus on the right strategic opportunities, changing processes to support larger scale, and increasing the speed of decision making to match the business landscape. For many CEO's today the changing face of competition, the need to develop the relationships outside their function, and building the necessary talent around them is critical. There is a natural tension for CEO's that needs to be managed through collaboration with trusted advisors. Seasoned experts who ask the difficult questions, understand the triggers of success, and have executed well articulated plans as high performing leaders themselves.

A first critical step for many enterprises, the CEO and their leaders is taking the time to understand what changes are needed and developing the willingness to engage in useful debate. CEO's and other executives today who have the resilience and influence to be open and honest are making decisions that balance short term demands with a long term vision. They are choosing to increase the quality of their leadership by building constructive dialogue across the organization to understand the current performance and future potential. These high performing executives are setting the context for change, adopting new behaviours, challenging other leaders to leverage their impact, and looking outwards further into the market. They are making a lasting impact on the business.

Enterprise success happens at the intersection of great leadership, an aligned workforce, and realized market opportunities. It is a team effort.
