Press Release Summary = Business leaders struggling with change now have an
alternative approach that increases the success rate and speed of change
initiatives.

Press Release Body = Survey after survey points to the pressing need for change in
business. Yet these same surveys indicate that leading change successfully is a
significant challenge for CEOs and managers alike. Now, business leaders facing the
challenge of leading change have an alternative approach that allows them to better
link organizational performance with company strategy.

Executive Dynamix, founded by Robert C. Karlsberg, MD, a psychiatrist and
psychoanalyst, and Jane M. Adler, MD, a specialist in behavioral medicine and
interpersonal dynamics, recently launched a new form of \"psychodynamic management
consulting,\" focusing on the impact of executive team and group dynamics on business
performance.

\"Maximizing productive dynamics at the senior executive level has a significant
positive effect on the organization,\" says Karlsberg, \"particularly when leading
change. Productive executive team dynamics -- such as candor, cross-functional
collaboration, and constructive feedback -- are associated with greater success in
implementing change initiatives. Because leadership dynamics create the model for
behavior at all levels, often minor adjustments at the top have an exponential
impact on productivity throughout the organization.\"

The guiding principles behind the psychodynamic management consulting offered by
Executive Dynamix come from observations made by the late management guru Peter
Drucker. Drucker found that disappointing business results could almost always be
traced to misalignments in the senior executive team.

According to Karlsberg, \"These misalignments do not arise from any interpersonal
malice, but rather from the fact that executives often pull in different directions
without even being aware of their divergences. This results in ineffective
decision-making, misdirected action, and inability to execute change initiatives.\"

Unlike other mental heath practitioners who function as organizational consultants,
Executive Dynamix\'s approach does not rely on traditional psychometric testing or
interventions directed at midlevel workers. \"Instead,\" says Adler, \"we work
directly with senior leaders, assess the current psychodynamic state of the
organization, and structure the necessary social operating mechanisms that enable
change leaders to get better results, faster.\"

In addition to executives leading change, psychodynamic management consulting
benefits business leaders who need to:

-- transition rapidly into a new leadership environment
-- enhance the working relationships of their management team
-- acquire psychological advantages for business integrations
-- add an outside, objective perspective to their own assessment
of a management team\'s functioning
