The Executive Leadership Group (The ELG) is dedicated to working for the founder in direct support of their goals and objectives. As their executive support team, The ELG develops plans for the founder’s review and approval. The founder retains both business control and creativity control. Startups require different leadership skills and characteristics than stable operating companies. While The ELG excels in the startup role, it is not our objective to become the long-term management of a stable, operational company. During the startup period, The ELG will work with the founder to help them find, select, and hire their permanent executive leadership team and operating staff.

The ELG provides support throughout the four-stages of the business lifecycle:
Stage I Development – Analysis, Decision, Planning
Stage II Building – Team, Foundation, Relationships
Stage III Delivery – Operations, Marketing, Sales
Stage IV Growth – Expansion, Reinvention, Enhancement

Stage I Development emphasizes working with the Client to establish a clearly defined and fully refined course of action and Plan for Success which will guide the Client’s future execution and business decisions.
Stage II Building begins the process of putting in place the people, processes, tools, operations, and relationships essential to execution; including detailed project plans for integrating the complex and varied components required to successfully execute the full Plan for Success.
Stage III Delivery is the execution and operation of the elements developed and put in place during Stages I and II.
Stage IV begins after the original goals and objectives defined in the Plan for Success have been achieved or the Client determines it is time for a course adjustment; effectively starting a new cycle of the business lifecycle.

The ELG tailors the support provided to the Client based on where the Client is in the business lifecycle, the Client’s capabilities and requirements, and the specific nature of the engagement.
