Leadership Consulting

We are broad-gauged leadership consultants to
top management, not cookie-cutter executive coaches. Our specialty: forcing tough issues constructively. Adept consultants, better outcomes.

Consulting to Individual Leaders — We advise CEOs on their development, groom promising upper-level managers, take the rough edges off abrasive leaders, help operators become more strategic.

Consulting to Teams — Help new leadership teams gel, dysfunctional teams break out of a vicious circle, CEO and COO pairs forge a relationship.

Leadership Development Programs — Provide feedback and coaching in a larger program (for example, with the Wharton School); put on self-contained development programs with your choice of content.

Managing Succession — Evaluate internal and external candidates for senior roles and make data-based recommendations; help newly appointed leaders get on board.

Research & Development

We conduct research on leadership and design cutting-edge change tools. Better tools, better results.

Change Tools

Custom leadership standards, custom assessment tools — We help CEOs formulate their own standards of leadership and convert the standards into easy-to-use, useful tools.
