It can be a huge professional shift to be plunged into the responsibilities of ‘executive life’; for, indeed, being a senior executive involves a certain lifestyle too. It is not just about the content of the work; it is also the responsibility, workload, pace, and complexity that comes with the role. The shift involves going from a functional expert to a fully competent executive peer who...]]></description><link>https://www.planariuscoaching.com/post/the-transition-into-senior-leadership</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fc16314a7a92c6f2356a45</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 04:36:44 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7e1d1_da34cd28c1fe45dfa91b5105b2e7085a~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ann6761</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is senior executive performance?]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Dr Ann Hutchison As a senior executive, if you were asked by someone what good performance looks like in your role, what would you say? How is your performance measured at the moment? It’s a tricky one. The reason it’s tricky is that senior executive performance is synonymous with organisational performance, and yet … it’s complicated. If you are on the top team, your job is to push the organisation into achieving its objectives. The problem with that is that the organisation’s objectives...]]></description><link>https://www.planariuscoaching.com/post/what-is-senior-executive-performance</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fc15394f7ebdc9f6a4bf54</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 04:32:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7e1d1_e8247a3e801444e99c086548bb09ab1a~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ann6761</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief people officer's subtle fight]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Dr Ann Hutchison This article is for those who are in the human resources profession. On the top management team in a medium to large-sized organization, the small table of people who lead the business at the strategic level will always include a CEO, and a head of finance; but other functions may or may not be included. For example, there will likely be a head of marketing or a head of operations, but there won’t always be, say, a head of sales. One of the roles that might be perceived as...]]></description><link>https://www.planariuscoaching.com/post/the-chief-people-officer-s-subtle-fight</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fc140a666cfccd94154c68</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 04:28:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7e1d1_e4d92b9538bc4944b425ebbb3f47606e~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ann6761</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[How common is senior executive derailment?]]></title><description><![CDATA[By Dr Ann Hutchison In the business literature, it is a noted problem that senior executives derail with relative frequency. By ‘derail’ I mean they fail to perform in quite a noticeable way and may have to leave their role as a result. Or, they stay in their role and become deemed ‘unsatisfactory performers’. This is a substantial enough problem that books have been written about it. Check out, for example, ‘Why CEOs Fail’ by David Dotlich and Peter Cairo, or ‘Why Smart Executives Fail’ by...]]></description><link>https://www.planariuscoaching.com/post/how-common-is-senior-executive-derailment</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69fc1232f4b0389e41d3a057</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 04:19:34 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e7e1d1_dbb30328495f4d14bc5c9888e2cb73a8~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_940,h_788,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>ann6761</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
