Organizational problems are rarely simple. Leadership, accountability, team performance, culture and change are often connected — and when something isn't working, the solution isn't always obvious.
2WA works with leaders to understand what's getting in the way, address the underlying issues and build practical solutions that move organizations forward.
Some organizational problems become entrenched — persistent conflict, dysfunctional teams, unclear roles, communication breakdowns or leadership issues that seem to resist every attempt to resolve them. 2WA helps leaders understand what is really happening and work with the people involved to stabilize teams, address underlying issues and get things working again.
Good technical employees don't automatically become effective managers. Managers may need support with setting expectations, accountability, delegation, difficult conversations, conflict, feedback or managing former peers. 2WA develops practical leadership and management capabilities that translate into better day-to-day leadership.
When expectations aren't clear or performance conversations aren't happening, problems can persist — and managers may not know how to address them. 2WA helps organizations build practical performance management and accountability systems, and gives managers the tools and confidence to use them.
A strategic plan should do more than document good intentions. 2WA works with Boards, senior leaders and stakeholders to clarify priorities, develop a practical strategy and create the alignment and measures needed to turn the plan into action.
When the boundaries between governance and operations become blurred, the Board, CEO or Executive Director — and ultimately the organization — can struggle. 2WA helps Boards and senior leaders clarify roles, strengthen governance practices and improve the working relationship between governance and management.
Leadership can be complicated, particularly when the issues involve people, relationships, organizational change or difficult decisions. Executive coaching gives leaders a confidential space to think through challenging situations, test their assumptions and determine how they want to move forward.
