EXPERIENCED MENTOR

Michael Tait, CEO Mentor and Mentor for Chief Executives

Experienced mentor for Chief Executives and Directors of privately held companies

Michael Tait can provide mentoring support to you and your fellow directors

Being a business leader can be challenging, stressful and often very lonely. As Chief Executive you have the responsibility for leading your people, creating a positive and fulfilling working environment and delivering the results you promised in your business plan.

It’s perfectly normal to wonder if you are doing the right things, have the right strategy and are making the best tactical decisions. You may also worry about your management style and whether you are having the effect you hoped for. Often there can be political undercurrents to worry about too.  Managing external investors is also a minefield for those leading the company.

You won’t be alone in wishing you had someone of considerable experience to turn to for counsel – someone you can trust to give you valuable insight and ongoing practical help on a whole range of business disciplines and to be completely sensitive with your thoughts and struggles. Sadly, it’s not always safe to share your worries with those around you.

CEO mentoring is about helping with all these things and more – not in the form of textbook tuition but by counselling on real practical business issues, situations and anxieties.

Mike Tait has many years’ experience in mentoring CEO’s and other board members. During the many years as a CEO, Mike has been a dedicated mentor to his directors, colleagues and his staff at all levels.
