Our
society exalts the bigger than life executive by placing them on pedestals.
Executives too can buy into this myth of infallibility. Believing this
myth and relying on the strengths that made them succeed in the first place
may prevent the executive from dealing with personal problems when they
occur. The strengths that once were advantages, now become
liabilities. For instance, an executive's:
- keen intellect
allows them to deny a problem exists;
- resourcefulness
prevents them from asking for assistance;
- confidence in
managing problems makes them assume they can solve any problem, even those personal in
nature.
For these
reasons, Emersus will work closely with your organization
to help you review performance issues, create a plan for intervention, facilitate
discussions with the executive, coordinate all referrals required, and manage the
behavioral health treatment until the executive returns to top performance.
Ideally,
an executive would use the corporate EAP services. Unfortunately,
most executives are concerned about the confidentiality of internal
programs, as well as often do not attribute credibility
required to confidently use them. You can be assured that our
professionals will carefully manage these sensitive situations. Our
expertise can help protect your organization from potential legal and
public relations consequences that can devastate an executive's life and
career and an organization's reputation.
