The Hidden Costs of an 'Accidental' Leadership Team
When a company’s growth outpaces its leadership capability, the costs ripple across the entire organisation. You don’t just have a management problem; you have a business bottleneck.
- You Become the Bottleneck:
Every major decision still lands on your desk. Your team escalates problems instead of solving them, slowing down agility and leading to your own burnout. - Your Best Talent Leaves:
Ambitious employees crave mentorship and a clear path for growth. When their manager can’t provide it, they leave, and they’re the last people you can afford to lose. - Your Strategy Stalls:
Your strategic vision is only as good as the leaders tasked with implementing it. Without strong, aligned leaders, your most important initiatives lose momentum and fail to get buy-in.
This is where our executive leadership coaching makes a direct commercial impact. We equip your leaders with the skills to break this cycle.

Leaders We Have Worked With
“The market was changing, and we needed to shift from a reactive to a proactive sales team. What we liked about Executive Consulting Group was that it wasn't a one-stop shop; it was a detailed, six-month process of training and personal coaching. The most significant impact was gaining a structured approach to our sales and key account plans. As a result, our whole team is speaking the same language, our sales results are very positive, and we are closer to our clients than ever before. We now have a clear strategy and focus for the future.”
“Before engaging with Executive Consulting Group, we were lacking a way forward and I was working too much in the business, not on it. What stood out was their proposal's 'understanding section', it proved they knew exactly what we needed. The strategy workshop and recruitment of a salesperson got us moving forward, and we now have a detailed operational plan that lifted us out of the survival mode COVID put us in. I would definitely recommend them to any business that wants to take their operations to the next level.”

“When I took over as CEO, the entire board was replaced and I was facing a challenge so daunting I was actually thinking of quitting. In conversations with Ralph, we devised a strategy and began an intensive coaching process with my completely new and inexperienced management team. As an outsider, he could get people out of their comfort zone in a way that wouldn't have been possible for me. Starting an executive consulting process with your team… it definitely pays off.”

"We needed a new approach, and what attracted us was the hands-on method. They didn't just present a framework; they analysed our pain points and created a documented plan that he was willing to back up and implement - that was the big difference. He transformed our sales team into trusted advisors and showed us that successful recruiting isn't about finding the best candidates, but finding the right person for the job."
"Executive Consulting Group came in and provided the clarity and detailed plan we needed to break through our sales plateau. They helped us with everything from sales mindset to recruiting the right people for our interstate expansion. I'd recommend them to any business looking to increase their sales and implement more structure around their sales team. They certainly have done a great job for us."

“We contracted Ralph from Executive Consulting Group after a period of serious turmoil. For our organisation he has played a key role in a decisive moment through effectively coaching our management team, and changing their mindsets. Together with him, we created our first Strategic Plan and Operational Plan. His approach has helped us to turn the members of our Executive Team into highly effective leaders, who love their jobs. While doing this, he went above and beyond the call of duty. With Ralph’s help, we started our journey in which we have turned our Technical University from a under-performing institute that had no properly working internet, no financial accountability and which was fully dependent on government funding, into a Technical University with international accreditation, being audited by an international accountancy firm without any discrepancies, having the best internet in the country and now being seen as a valued member in the global academic world. Now we are financially supported by industry stakeholders and as such, the investment in working with Executive Consulting Group was worth every Kina!”

“Ralph accompanied me as an executive coach. His broad general management experience, including competencies in change management, mergers, business re-engineering and business integration has taught me a lot. I am convinced that Ralph will add value to other international organisations as well.”

“The Leadership Track Program kick-off workshops, delivered by Executive Consulting Group, have been instrumental in setting our leaders up for success — two years running.
In the first year, we had 10 participants, and in the second, 7.
In both cohorts, the impact was immediate.
The sessions provided a strong foundation for our leadership development journey, engaging participants from the very beginning and aligning them with the program’s purpose.
What truly stood out was the quality of facilitation — professional, insightful, and tailored to our organisation’s context. The workshops were not only informative but also energising, equipping our leaders with the clarity, confidence, and tools to grow.
It was an exceptional way to launch a meaningful program, and we’re deeply grateful for our partnership with Executive Consulting Group.”

“Working with Ralph Vossenberg of Executive Consulting Group has been one of the most valuable professional decisions I have made as CEO of NGH.
Ralph has been far more than an executive coach — he has been a trusted advisor and sounding board through some of the most defining moments of my leadership journey. From supporting the shaping of our strategic plan and redefining the organisational structure, to qualifying acquisition opportunities and navigating the acquisition by Fyfe, his commercial insight and clarity of thinking have been invaluable.
He has helped me evolve my leadership and management style, lift my presence in the business, and elevate myself out of day-to-day operations so I could truly lead the business. With Ralph’s guidance, I have learned to hold my direct reports to account, how to manoeuvre in difficult board conversations with confidence, and execute tough decisions — including redundancies — with integrity and empathy.
Just as importantly, Ralph has played a key role in helping me reshape our company culture and helping me think clearly about what my future role could look like.
Ralph is direct, insightful and genuinely invested in the success of the leaders he works with.
I would recommend him to any CEO or senior executive looking to grow, challenge themselves and lead with greater impact.”
Erwin Budde
Chief Executive Officer, NGH (now a division of Fyfe)
“Over the past six months, I completed a series of six Executive Coaching sessions with Ralph Vossenberg from Executive Consulting Group.
Having been in my role for only nine months and leading four departments with very different profiles, I was looking for practical guidance and a sounding board to help accelerate my impact as a leader. Ralph’s coaching provided exactly that. I gained valuable insights into how to get the best out of my people, how to tailor my communication to different personalities, and how to prioritise my time more effectively. Ralph created a space where I could safely bounce around real situations and decisions, and his experience-based coaching continually gave me clear, confident next steps.
The biggest benefit was being able to tap into Ralph’s deep leadership and commercial experience. It helped me refine how I approach my team, improve my time management, and strengthen my overall leadership capability within the organisation.
I highly recommend Ralph and the Executive Consulting Group to any leader wanting to fast-track their growth and performance.”
