Company Direction is (almost) the only profession for which no special qualification is needed. Top Team members are often appointed on the basis of past success in management and ‘being a good chap’.

But, in today’s Post-Recession world, only the highest standards of strategic management and governance are good enough. It is more than ever essential that the teams that drive  your businesses are structured and developed for the challenge in a careful and systematic way.

As former Chief Executives and non-executive directors, we know how important it is to structure your Top Team with the right combination of talents, reputations and experiences. With our own special evaluation process and seasoned coaches, we offer:

	Expert broad-based assessment of individual Top Team members and leadership teams
	Matching of talents, experiences, personalities and preferences to form an effective leadership team
	Clarification of team and individual development gaps
	Identification of relative potential for advancement to CEO and Board Chair status

Our Top Team Development services include:

	Collective coaching, facilitation and conflict mediation for Top Team members
	Coaching for newly (or about to be) appointed Board Chairs, Chief Executives and other Top Team members
	Reflective mentoring for Chairs and CEOs who need a confidential ‘think partner’ to discuss early strategic thinking, board management issues and interpersonal problems in a secure environment
	Tripartite mentoring involving the Chair, CEO and an I.J. Martin & Co Coach/Mentor working together for effective harmonisation of the Top Team culture
