We recognize the influence that organizations and leaders exert on each other.
Leadership takes place within the context of an organization's culture - the shared beliefs, standards, values, and unwritten rules that influence and set parameters for the behavior of its members. Leaders, in turn, shape organizational culture and climate by virtue of their unique styles, attitudes, values, vision, and ways of working with people. For maximum effectiveness, we integrate our executive and organizational development efforts, seeing them as interdependent.
We measure the success of our efforts by the achievement of clear performance goals and objectives.
Efforts to change or improve the performance of an organization, a team, or an individual are only as cost-effective as the results they deliver. Our training and experience enable us to earn trust and gain cooperation, identify and address impediments and resistance to change, and follow through on action plans, so that information gained through assessment can be translated into constructive action.
We partner with our clients to make sure that our efforts make sense, add value, and are well managed.
We foster change through professional collaboration with clients. Our goal is to help our clients become self-sufficient in pursuing their goals; we work with our clients to create the "right" balance of participation and involvement. Often in-house staff members take responsibility for major components of the development effort in consultation with us. Our attitude is that we are guests in your organization, facilitating your development initiatives.
