Leadership Guidance + Development
So much more than just unlocking potential and enhancing performance—Dolus focuses on assisting chief executives in issues and challenges that are mission-critical to their role as ultimate institutional decision-maker and also inseparable from who they are as a person.
We help leaders develop and use psychological strategies to strengthen decision-making, avoid unintended consequences, remove obstacles to communication and collaboration, and to lead, plan and negotiate more effectively.
Our approach pivots on the view that CEOs who are resilient, communicative and psychologically aware have an unmatchable competitive advantage.
Chief executives are responsible for influencing and course-setting their organization’s strategy, operations and culture. Institutional stability, success or struggle link directly to leaders’ capacities and limitations to recognizing and effectively navigating the psychological and emotional challenges, stresses, hardships and anxieties of the CEO role, as well as understanding the dynamics of their management team and board and attending to their organization’s cultural fitness.
Dolus Advisors brings a wealth of expertise and experience to these nuanced and usually private aspects of an executive’s life. Our executive guidance and development work with corporate leaders involve confidential conversations enabling leaders to develop new perspectives on the human dimensions of their work and the psychological forces influencing their leadership.
We help executives understand the why of what they’re doing, not just how to do something different.
“Working regularly with Alexander has been instrumental to my development and experience as a CEO. He helps me navigate the many complex psychological and emotional challenges I face as the founder and leader of what was a start-up when we began working together and is now a successful and still-growing company. In addition to my ongoing work with him, he also meets regularly with my entire senior management team. He is a vital part of helping Catchafire attain our goals.”
