About

Chief Executives books Linus Murphy for senior leaders in a stretch of major leadership change — Elite Executive Leadership Transformation and Executive Key Focus Areas.

When a senior leader is already inside a stretch of major change — a new identity in the seat, a culture that has to move with them, a handful of levers that actually matter this quarter — Chief Executives books Linus Murphy for that work.

The work is Elite Executive Leadership Transformation and Executive Key Focus Areas. The operating record is below.

The public office for the agency is in ICD Brookfield Place, DIFC, Dubai. The street address is on the contact page. There is no phone number on this site.

What the booking is for

The work is one-to-one: a shift in the leader, so the culture can follow. It is confidential. It is not a vendor programme the organisation can file. Chief Executives books the conversation; what happens in the room stays between the coach and the executive.

The method walks identity, beliefs, values, rules, emotions, skills, communication, relationships, environment, then goals and actions.

He works with CEOs, C-suite leaders, and executive teams, in person or by video. Fit stays in writing after a first enquiry.

How the brief is chosen

The brief is a shortlist, not a thirty-item programme. Name the two or three levers that are in the way this quarter, work those, then rotate.

Examples: transferring vision so the room can repeat it; self and team awareness; naming and removing leadership blind-spots; leading from the inside-out; tough conversations; building high-performance teams; making tough decisions. If you cannot name two, you do not yet have a brief. Write it before you enquire.

The stretch is a short list of levers, written down. The coaching conversation itself stays in the room.
