Molly Wendell works with CEOs, executives, and leadership teams to uncover what's getting in the way — and change what happens next.
Sometimes it's trust.
Sometimes it's communication.
Everyone thinks they're aligned,
but somehow, they keep walking out of the same meeting with completely different interpretations of what was decided.
Nobody wants to be micromanaged,
but when the leader steps out of the decisions, things stop moving forward.
You have incredibly capable people
who are each doing a great job... just not necessarily together.
That's where Molly comes in.
She asks the questions other people aren't asking. She notices what's happening underneath the conversation.
It's to get them working better together.
There’s only one thing Molly may love
more than bringing people together:
Brownies with powdered sugar.
When she was a kid, Molly routinely took charge of organizing class parties. And not content to simply ask everyone to bring something, she talked individually with her classmates, assessed which parents could be trusted to make good brownies and strategically assigned the desserts.
Somehow, an extraordinary number of brownies with powdered sugar showed up.
Her teachers never quite figured out why
YOU'RE ONLY AS GOOD A LEADER AS YOU ARE A TEAM.
That belief is behind almost everything Molly does.
Whether she's coaching a CEO and leadership team, designing and facilitating an executive offsite, helping an organization rethink how its leaders work together, or finding the right executive to join the team, Molly looks at the organization through the same lens:
Because organizations don't change simply because someone puts a great strategy on a PowerPoint slide.
They change when people understand where they're going, know what they own, trust the people around them, communicate clearly, and actually follow through.
And getting there isn't always comfortable.
Molly isn't afraid of that part.
That experience matters. She knows what it's like to sit inside an organization where priorities compete, personalities collide, decisions get complicated and getting something done requires a whole lot more than putting it on somebody's action-item list.
She also knows what it's like to be the executive trying to figure out what's next.
That experience ultimately led her to build Executives Network and spend more than two decades working with executives at pivotal points in their careers, their teams and their organizations.
Different challenges. Same fundamental question:
What's really getting in the way — and what are we going to do about it?
She'll expect you to do what you said you were going to do.
She'll believes relationships matter more than anything in business.
She'll believes a room full of smart, educated leaders doesn't automatically make a great team.
She'll knows, without a doubt, that another leadership presentation isn't going to fix your team.
She thinks some of the best conversations happen when people get away from the conference table.
And if everyone keeps agreeing in the meeting but nothing seems to change afterward, she's probably going to want to talk about that.
Molly holds an MBA from the University of California, Irvine and a BS in Marketing from San Diego State University.
She is the founder of Executives Network and has spent more than two decades working with executives and leadership teams.
She is also a speaker and author and has built her career around leadership, relationships, business strategy, and one persistent belief:
Let's talk about what's happening with your team, where you want to go, and what might be getting in the way.
