People join companies; they leave bosses.
Effective leadership skills are the key to retaining talented staff. Today's leaders are seeking coaches who will guide them and help them develop their careers. Growing leaders who can develop a strategic vision, build a team, and mentor their staff is paramount in today's competitive business environment. We focus particular attention on the unique needs of women leaders.

Artemis uses 360º Assessments, 1-1 coaching, and customized workshops to groom leaders from the executive suite to the front line.

Our Approach:

• We use a competency-based process to help leaders identify their strengths and opportunities to grow their leadership capabilities. Leadership competencies can include: Integrity, Customer Focus, Team Leadership, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Business Knowledge, and Communication. We customize the competencies to align with your business values, your company vision and mission, as well as your performance management system. Once the competencies are identified, we teach specific behaviors, skills, strategies, and techniques that allow the leaders to demonstrate the key leadership competencies that are valued in your organization.
• We use assessments such as 360º tools, the Myers-Briggs, and other assessments to provide leaders with insights into their natural and learned capabilities. Using these tools, we obtain baseline feedback in order to set goals, focus on skill building, and then celebrate successes. Achieving results is our hallmark. Leaders we work with increase their self-confidence, improve their productivity, and increase their value to their organization and themselves.

Leaders today need to develop skills to manage virtual teams and remote staff.

Leaders need to learn how to manage in a global marketplace, in a 7x24 work environment that expects immediate turnaround with a workforce that may have different values and needs than the manager. Managers need to learn how to work effectively with both teams and individuals. They need to work cross-functionally as well as manage their own boss. With virtual teams, telecommuters, job sharers, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and today's knowledge and service economy, leadership is more complex than ever.

An investment in your leaders will lead to improvements in the three bottom lines: shareholder value, and customer and employee satisfaction.

Innovation occurs most often through collaboration. Organizations increase their creativity and profitability by building cohesive and collaborative teams.

Our philosophy is to build teams through focusing them on how to improve their work processes. By engaging in experiential exercises and developing collaborative strategic visions, teams build trust and respect for one another.

Business today utilizes teams in a variety of ways: virtual teams, global teams, cross-functional teams, temporary teams, project teams, and self-managed teams. Your business depends on the optimal functioning of teams.

Artemis will customize a team-building process for your organization, your division, or your workgroup.

Organizations spend endless hours planning the details of the change process but often overlook the human dynamics of change. Well-intentioned projects often fail because the people were not appropriately involved or informed. Artemis Management Consultants assists organizations to flourish during times of turbulence.

Artemis Management Consultants helps organizations successfully merge, be acquired, restructure, or downsize by working with change management theory and practices. Let us help you with your next change project so you can leverage your success for your three bottom lines: shareholder value, customer and employee satisfaction.

• Are you a new leader that needs to bring your team together to get to know one another better?
• Do you and your team need to set a vision and strategic business goals for the year?
• Is your team experiencing conflict that is getting in the way of productivity?
