What Is A Business Leadership Professional?

For a number of years, Lynn Hartrick positioned himself as a source of management consulting services – even though he spent more time explaining that what he does is far more hands-on and accountable than what typical consultants provide.

He needed a better description for his personal services, and he found it in the term, Business Leadership Professional.

Consultants determine a recommended course of action for others to follow. By contrast, Lynn assumes an active leadership role – preferably serving as an interim CEO or equivalent – and helps to develop strategies for success and personally lead an organization to achieve stated goals. Whether it’s improving company performance or managing transitions, turnarounds or liquidity events, Lynn takes direct responsibility and accountability for executing a plan to successful outcomes.

At the end of his designated period of involvement, Lynn will have the people, processes, organizational structure and strategies in place that your company needs to sustain growth and profitability for the long term.

 

The Opportunity To Make An Impact

More than anything else, Lynn wants the opportunity to make a significant impact on the future direction of your company – directly reporting to corporate ownership, the board of directors or other governing body.

Privately-held companies that engage his services typically share one or more of the following characteristics:

• Their owners seek liquidity, restructuring, improved performance and/or organizational development
• They enjoy an acknowledged competitive advantage and are looking to accelerate growth
• They have sound fundamentals which may be undervalued or underperforming
• Strained internal relationships are impeding the achievement of key corporate goals
• Ownership is seeking transitional or interim leadership
