As a Leader

You Need to Be the One that Sees the Big Picture

As a leader, you are in the thick of the daily grind. It’s tough to see the forest for the trees, let alone chase every problem that gets lobbed your way. 

There are weird things happening on the fringes of the real work - gossip, poor communication, morale deficits. It’s having an effect on your leaders and teams. With the Great Resignation in full force, you are worried about loosing good people. 

Frankly, as a leader in a growing business, it’s all making you a bit insecure. You ought to be able to navigate this and it’s uncomfortable to be in a position where you can’t fix what’s wrong.

Challenges

  • Gossip

  • Silos

I Get it!

What you are experiencing are completely normal growing pains.

I have worked 20+ years as a consultant in the areas of leadership, communications, culture, team dynamics, and missional strategy.

What Others Have to Say...

College Admissions Department

Kristin did an excellent job helping our team learn about our strengths and communication styles. The activities she facilitated gave us not only an understanding of our department's past and present challenges and successes, but also pushed us to look towards building our team for the future. Throughout the process, Kristin was communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our team was prepared for our event.  

Gabrielle Lawrence
Former Chair, ParkBugle Board of Directors

"Kristin Wiersma led the ParkBugle Board of Directors through a challenging planning process with enthusiasm, expertise and thoughtful guidance. Her approach was innovative and thorough and she was especially effective in keeping board members on task! The work was guided by input from community listening sessions, a survey of the readership and another survey of local businesses.The final product is an ambitious ten-year goal, a solid three year goal and pragmatic actions to be accomplished quarterly. We also have a re-imagined mission statement, an examination of our core values and a creative vision statement that will guide the organization in the coming years. The organization is refreshed and ready to move into the future, thanks to Kristin's work."
