Aide de MD: Derived from Aide–de–camp, an officer acting as a confidential assistant to a general or admiral going in to battle.
Thus, Aide de MD acts as the confidential assistant to the MD, supporting them to go into battle in the business world.
Charlotte Rimmer, Aide de MD to business leaders.
Aide de MD helps you take control and manage your business. We provide confidence, accountability and direction to define your goals and support you in the execution of your business plan. Using accountability frameworks, people strategy and clever, workable programs, we partner with you to achieve your goals. We support you in making the right choices for you and your business.
For over 14 years, Aide de MD has worked with hundreds of executives across a range of businesses. We have worked with many owners who would like more autonomy from the business; the opportunity to work 4 days a week, take a sabbatical or “switch off”, confident that the business is supported by a solid framework. We help you create a framework of people so that the bottleneck of authority and decision making is effectively in place.
As the leader, demands for your time are constant and your own priorities can take second place. Share the accountability with Aide de MD as your business mentor and get advice on execution while gaining a different perspective and skill set.
“What’s got you here, won’t get you there.” Daily operations can blur opportunities to diversify, grow and retain clarity of thought. We work with you to create a clear picture of your business goals. Together, we review and challenge your business blueprint, and develop a strategy to make your business stronger and independent. Then we support you through the execution to implement your plan.
When your people understand the goal, and you collaborate to define the target structure, the challenges become easier, more practical and less emotionally driven. We support you to execute on the plan while you’re leading the business. We assess your current teams to ensure the right people are in the right jobs. Then, we train and coach, or suggest alternatives, according to your plan.
As your business mentor, external advisor, collaborator, sounding board and peer, we will remind you why you started down this path, why you work so hard, and how to achieve your vision.
Every business we work with is unique. Our tailored approach ensures our programs are specific to the goals and needs of our clients.
We’ll diagnose and enhance your strengths and skills to ensure these are maximised to the optimum benefit of your business.
