Where Do You Find Prodigal Executives

Where do you find prodigal executives? These are the managerial train wrecks that are too painful to keep and too valuable to fire. Many people also know them as derailed executives.

You find them everywhere. Some of my clients have included the CEO of a high tech manufacturing firm, a CEO of a $10 million bio- technology company, the Chief Technology Officer of a $27 billion international technology company, senior executives at a bio-medical research company, and executives from a Fortune 500 bio-medical pharmaceutical company. I also have experience working with organizations that are being blended because of a merger or acquisition. Once I was involved with the integration of the San Francisco Examiner into the San Francisco Chronicle. I have facilitated retreats on strategic planning for The Los Angeles Times, St. Luke Hospital, Century City Hospital, Midway Medical Center, Giga-tronics, and Northrop-Grumann. I have also facilitated offsite retreats for Disney Consumer Products Organizational Development Department and an architectural firm start-up.

Derailed executives are everywhere. The good news is 8 out of 10 can get back on track with the right coaching. Prodigal executives can make it back home.
