Strengthening the Core of Your Organization

Meet Sayre (SAY-er)

Innovative, Perceptive, Focused, and Trusted

Clients appreciate my ability to:

​

  • Be the calm in the storm navigating complexity, ambiguity and change

  • Deep understanding of cultural impact on strategy

  • Creating clarity​​​

  • Quickly get to the heart of the matter

I have been advising and supporting C-Suite leaders and Middle Managers working at the forefront of change throughout my career working with more than 200 individuals and companies in multiple industries – associations, technology, financial services, insurance, higher education and professional services. I also have a breadth and depth of experience in health care with more than 25 years of experience working with industry associations, providers, payers, national associations, medical device, and insurance organizations.

 

Through that experience, I have seen the need and value in strengthening organizational leadership in two areas: 

​​

  • Balancing the C-Suite's strategic leadership with Middle Managers' people leadership

  • Refining the Middle Manager's role and strengthening their leadership skills

 

For executives, this means challenging existing assumptions, and requires rescoping the traditional leadership roles and responsibilities, raising the expectations and accountabilities of middle managers, and bridging the gap of understanding between senior executives and middle managers.

​

​For middle managers, it's about being more adept at strategic thinking, understanding how to communicate and work within the chain of command, better utilize their leadership in the middle, and provide stronger leadership.
