ExecPath Transitions

Every leader faces the challenge of an executive not meeting expectations or thriving within the organization. The hidden costs, the negative impact of delayed firings, and the difficulties in finding a suitable solution are what ExecPath offers as an alternative approach to managing executive transitions.

Why Wait?

CEOs we have worked with often delay making a change because they do not want to do to another executive what they would not want done to themselves. They empathized with the potential negative impact of firing someone and wanted to give the executive every chance to improve or find a better fit within the organization. Additionally, some CEOs are optimistic and believe they can fix any problem, so they focus on other pressing issues and delay making the necessary change. 

While severance packages and outplacement services are important in some situations, too often, they are a one-size-fits-all program and not cost-effective. We believe providing a six-month transition period, along with coaching and support, yields a higher return on investment for the company and a better outcome for the executive. We know that most transitioning executives perform at a high level during the transition, and the savings generated through acting on the decision sooner and avoiding the severance payout covers the cost of coaching services. 

ExecPath Transitions services address many organizations’ critical challenges: managing senior executive changes while preserving employee morale and brand reputation. In today’s talent-driven economy, your people are your most valuable assets. However, when changes occur due to consolidations, downsizing, mergers, or shifts in executive leadership, we help transition with minimal disruption. Choosing the right partner for coaching services is essential to ensure a smooth transition and maintain positive relationships with the departing executive.

Testimonial

Executive transitions represent a significant challenge for everyone involved.  I personally found the expertise and guidance of a skilled and knowledgeable transition coach like Tim Pappas can successfully counsel executives and corporations alike through executive transitions.  Tim partners effectively to help bring about desired outcomes that minimize personal and organizational trauma, reduce pain and complications, and shorten recovery time, all of which help protect brand and strengthen company culture.  If you find yourself thinking about making a change in executive leadership, I suggest you give Tim a call.  ExecPath will prove to be a strong ally as you navigate complex decisions and challenging times.

To say that executive-level transitions within organizations leave a lasting impression with key staff, clients, and vendors is an understatement. Having been part of a handful of these transitions, poorly executed, has only increased my appreciation for what Tim and ExecPath deliver during these critical tipping points in a company's leadership momentum.

The awareness and diplomacy to have a constructive roadmap is at the core of what ExecPath brings to the table. Tim's approach is direct and measurable - from the human/ emotional side to the business interests and continuity impact. I have witnessed Tim's executive coaching insights create true 'win-win-wins' for all the stakeholders; while protecting both the culture being disrupted and the individual being impacted by the often-unexpected and sudden change.

ExecPath delivers and guides leaders/ owners through the challenges of executive transitions, addressing key obstacles before they become time-consuming distractions or even legal pitfalls. Tim and his team will set the tone and timeline for an effective and productive conversion of talent and 'legacy knowledge' within the organization.


I strongly recommend a discovery conversation with Tim and ExecPath - your organization and team will be better off for the experience.

COO

As an executive at the same company for 15 years, Tim was very helpful in updating and reorienting my priorities and activities in the early days after my exit from the company.  In addition to developing a level of accountability around networking activities, our regular meetings helped me process the transitions I was experiencing both personally and professionally.  I was very thankful the company was willing to honor my service by providing me this service and I continue to have a strong relationship with my former CEO to this day.

As a former CEO of an employee-owned business, I highly recommend ExecPath Transitions to any organization seeking a seamless and supportive transition process for departing executives.  Their personalized approach, dedicated coaching, and commitment to confidentiality ensured that our executive's departure was handled with dignity and respect.  The ExecPath team helped maintain business continuity, protected valuable relationships, and reinforced a positive organizational culture during a potentially challenging time.  Their cost-effective solution proved to be a wise investment, minimizing disruption and maximizing the return on our investment.  I am confident that ExecPath Transitions can provide the same level of exceptional service to other organizations.
