The Leadership Challenge

Starting a Company Has Never Been Easier,
Leading a Company Has Never Been Harder

Starting a Company Has Never Been Easier, Leading a Company Has Never Been Harder

1CEOs infrequently get candid, accurate feedback, and when they do, they rarely have a thought partner with whom to make sense of it. 

2Behavior change is difficult in any context, but making it happen in high-stakes situations is almost impossible to do alone.

3Successful CEOs need a trusted advisor to help them learn, grow, discover their authentic leadership style, and overcome barriers on their journey.

What is Coaching?

Exploring Deeper Topics

Working at the intersection of leadership and strategy, Zander helps clients address the immediate challenges that are the everyday stuff of company building (working through conflict, managing key talent, aligning people, changing culture, driving performance) and the deeper, more profound topics that too often remain unexplored.

What assumptions do I have about myself and others that are holding me back?
Am I getting the most out of my executive team and helping them reach their full potential?
How do I enhance my leadership skills without giving up parts of myself that have gotten me to this point?
I feel like I’m the right CEO for this company today, but how do I make sure that’s true in the future as we grow rapidly?
What am I most afraid of as a leader?

Building deep trust with his clients, Zander works with leaders to reflect on their journey and their current context. Drawing on a range of useful concepts and frameworks to focus the conversation, Zander helps clients look at seemingly intractable issues differently, not only framing the current context in a fresh way but also exploring alternative courses of action or ways of thinking.

The hallmark of any great coach is the ability not just to impart wisdom, but to help the player understand how to put that wisdom into action and improve performance. Zander has faced all of the challenges incumbent in building and scaling a business. That perspective has been enormously impactful to help me separate the signal from the noise so I can focus on the activities that make me a more effective leader.

I’m a first-time CEO of a rapidly evolving venture-backed start-up. Zander is the first person I call on all difficult matters of the business.

His guidance, connections, and reputation is second to none in the industry.
