You are good at what you do. However, on many days you, your people, or your teams don’t function the way you would like. Communication and systems fail, frustrations build, and productivity suffers. Maybe there seems to be more corrosion than collaboration, more erosion than resolution, more angst than action. Eventually you embark on a quest to find a transformative solution for whatever is compromising your organization’s best efforts.
Heroic effort. You and your colleagues have made several. At times those efforts still fall short of desired “heroic results”. Take heart. You are not alone (though it often feels that way). Every hero’s journey story includes the appearance and resourcefulness of a Guide. If you are at that point of your story, now is the time to request help from a guide that brings reflected on lived-experience, framed with academic rigor, and proven, lasting results.

The differences between leading and managing are important to understand. Equally important is understanding yourself and your colleagues well enough to know when to engage in which role. Certain “pain points” require leadership perspective and action. Others are best served with a skilled management approach.
We listen closely during dialogue around your people, systems, assets, and liabilities, etc. Then our academically informed, lived-experience insights get threaded in with yours. The result is a customized approach to content and delivery based on who you are, where you’re going, and what you need to get there.

Healthy, high-functioning teams are essential to a healthy, highly-productive organization. Whether you operate with a true team-mindset or more of a work-group approach, even the normal daily grind generates both helpful and harmful outcomes. The harmful ones result in mis-alignment, unhelpful resistance, and friction. If not addressed in forthright, respectful ways, those factors erode trust, the essential foundation to a cohesive team that achieves meaningful results.
Through guided use of proven tools, practices, and processes, your teams will:

Whether your company operates as B2B, B2C, a hybrid, or another model, the dynamic nature of businesses often causes uneven growth and development. That lack of congruency creates dis-traction. You don’t need reminding of what distraction causes.
A study of Fortune 1000 companies found up to 20% of employee time is wasted due to misaligned organizational culture.
It is difficult to pay proper attention to every moving part of complex organizations. Just as a complex machine is comprised of multiple simple machines engineered to work effectively together, so any organization of humans working together needs continual, attentive engineering of its structures, systems, and processes.
