An article in a recent edition of TIME Magazine reports a staggering increase in the number of CEOs who are losing their jobs because of the inability to deliver improved results, even if their company is holding steady during these unprecedented economic times.

If you are hanging on by a thread in your company, you are certainly not alone.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. You are not automatically destined to join the ranks of those who have been fired from leadership positions—but you will have to act now…and act differently.

I’ve been advising CEOs for more than two decades—including more recently with my unique CEO Independent Advisor service—and I have witnessed firsthand how a CEO’s decision making can make or break a career.

In times of economic and business uncertainty, I’ve witnessed CEOs go in search of the “needle in the haystack”—and even if they find it, sometimes they discover too late that what they grabbed at was the wrong needle!

Drawing from my extensive experience as a business leader and an independent advisor, I am frequently called upon by executives to help them stop digging and start focusing on the real issues:

• Identifying the issues that have the greatest impact on the future viability of your business
• Prioritizing the issues
• Discovering the key factors that will be required to make the best decisions possible.
• Ensuring that the CEO is in control of these key factors—and if not, why.
• Identifying all potential sources of information influencing each key issue and rating the reliability of each.

Are you relying on reality, or are you buying a lottery ticket and hoping for the best?

Those of us who have spent any time on or near the water know the careful preparation that goes into any boating voyage—whether cruising across the ocean or a more simple zip around the lake.

Life jackets, oars, GPS systems and radios are standard—and essential–tools for a safe excursion and good preparation for any number of potential emergency scenarios.

Unfortunately, we hear news all too often of vessels that have capsized when the emergency tools weren’t close at hand or, in some cases, were never on board in the first place.

Of course, it’s not only boating that requires a “safety kit.” Today’s economy requires one, too.

If you are like most CEOs leading organizations right now, you no doubt find yourself the captain of a company trying to navigate these unchartered, choppy waters of a complicated economy.

Is your survival kit packed and ready?

Do you even have one?

In my experience, cultivated over several decades advising business leaders, the most important tool to have on hand is independent advice. An experienced, unbiased advisor who can give you accurate, quality and meaningful “survival” information is a critical component to your ultimate success–and will help you plug the holes in a leaky corporate ship.

I’d like to talk with you about how my experience as a CEO Independent Advisor can serve as a crucial tool in your leadership safety kit. A corporate captain’s connection with me can make a difference!
