C.A.R.E.S. is ExecutiveBound’s leadership framework for supporting individual leaders and leadership teams as responsibility expands and complexity increases.
Grounded in self-leadership and emotional intelligence, and informed by lived leadership experience and research, the framework helps leaders recognize how they are showing up and how their decisions, behaviors, and communication shape outcomes for talent and teams.
Through this work, leaders cut through noise, surface friction, and address patterns that influence momentum and results. They strengthen their ability to make decisions that stick, influence stakeholders more deliberately, and restore alignment when it begins to drift across the organization.
C.A.R.E.S. also supports leaders in reconnecting to purpose, aligning where they are with where they want to go, and shaping a future that serves both the organization and its talent. Over time, this becomes a sustained leadership practice rather than a one-time adjustment.
This framework guides how we think, engage, and partner with leaders, shaping the insights we bring across our work, including our bestselling leadership books, podcast conversations, and speaking engagements.
