Have you ever tried driving on black ice where old instincts and old rules fall short? Where you need a new playbook to deal with new problems?
Just like driving on black ice, uncertainty, crisis, or profound change can change everything. The rules and strategies you used to rely on stop working. If you want to get through, keep winning and win bigger, you need to change the playbook.
At MAVERICK & Company, we recognize that there are times when your tried and true solutions not only stop working, but actually become part of the problem. Leaders and teams need to see beyond the skills, tools, and strategies beyond what they’ve been using.
Here, we help teams learn, unlearn, and adapt. We prepare them with an arsenal of critical resources that help them solve today’s problems but also get them ready to solve bigger, harder, more complicated problems tomorrow.
Our philosophy is that the problem IS the opportunity. While it’s natural to focus on survival, for us, and our clients, hard times aren’t about just surviving. They are moments to double down on what you want to build and who you can become; opportunities to come back stronger and win bigger.
My name is Alecia Huck.
Business is hard. People are tricky. Nothing about leadership is easy.
And growth can make it all so much worse.
No one is good at everything. But the challenges multiply just as resources become more scarce.
New leaders struggle to make the transition from individual contributor to effective leader.
Experienced leaders will get caught between fighting today’s fires and big picture work like building strong teams.
No one is getting all the training they really need, new and confusing people conflicts are popping up, everyone is working hard and no one seems to be able to keep up.
On top of that the terrain itself has fundamentally changed. Just like driving on black ice, what used to work becomes what works against you at the worst possible time.
MAVERICK & Company started when an old friend asked for help solving all these kinds of problems. Since then, I’ve worked with dozens and dozens of leaders, a lot like that first one. They’ve been smart, determined, thoughtful leaders. They needed real results and big returns.
Over the years, some elements have emerged as the most impactful, the most critical. So today we focus on building strong leadership teams that know how to manage people adeptly, function efficiently as an executive team, and build effective systems, processes & tools.
For the past two decades, I’ve worked directly with leaders, bringing expertise in human behavior and process science, along with a mountain of experience to help them look at their organization with new eyes and see new solutions.
My job is not to tell them what to do, but to help them figure out how to build the kind of organization they’ve always wanted to build.
It’s not easy work. And that’s why we do it.
What Are You Working On?
Effective people understand that the way you view the world helps create the world you get. They know the power of choosing what to focus on, and what not to. They put their efforts and energy into the things they can control, the work that makes a difference. They don’t spend much time complaining or worrying. They do the work. They don’t shy away from reality or hard truths, but they do choose how long to look.
