Establishing and growing a profitable company requires an innovative idea, a viable business model, a sound commercialization strategy, and a receptive customer base. But even when all of these conditions are in place, success is not guaranteed. There is still one critical element that must be present in order to build a thriving business: healthy interpersonal relationships among the company’s founders.
Founders understand that they need to build effective operational, financial, marketing, and administrative systems to run their companies effectively, but they often fail to recognize the importance of interpersonal relationships. This is a main reason why 90% of startups in the U.S. fail. But by examining and strengthening relational dynamics, founders can create harmony, minimize dysfunction, and focus on the bottom line.
Dr. Bridbord provides structure, guidance, and coaching to company founders to uncover and eliminate interpersonal issues that create barriers to success. The Founders’ Relationship Health Program includes:
Assessment
Through in-depth consultations and surveys with company founders, Dr. Bridbord assesses founders’ relationships, group dynamics, and culture of the company. She identifies interpersonal strengthens and challenges, leadership imbalances, and divergent company goals and visions.
Strategy
Dr. Bridbord develops an actionable behavioral prescription with insightful, solution-focused strategies to strengthen founders’ interpersonal relationships and build a foundation that promotes trust, honest communication, respect, and collaboration among founders.
Implementation
Once she creates the roadmap, Dr. Bridbord provides coaching as needed to ensure that targeted results are being achieved. She performs check-ins and provides guidance to keep the behavioral prescription on track and effective.
