Why Mark Works with CEOs of Startups/SMEs

As an entrepreneur, Mark knows firsthand how founding CEOs and their businesses are inextricably linked, and how difficult it must be for these CEOs when replaced by so-called “real CEOs” the board and/or investors feel are needed to take the company to the next level. Mark’s business purpose is to prevent this from happening to any CEO who does not want to be replaced.

How Mark Fulfills This Purpose

Mark’s SuperOrg approach is an action-based conversation enabled by a digital toolkit designed to educate and equip CEOs to grow and develop faster than their organizations. This is the key to long-term success for both CEOs and their companies. Like people, companies move through a life cycle as they grow and develop. The goal of every CEO is to lead and manage their companies through the stages of this life cycle to attain and maintain prime condition: sustainable organizational effectiveness producing sustainable value creation for all stakeholders, aka “doing well by doing good.” Achieving this goal requires CEOs to become masters at organizational architecture: working on the business to enhance the performance of people working in the business. Mark’s approach uniquely educates and equips CEOs to play this elusive yet vital role at a level of excellence.
