Your organization is brimming with possibility; I’m here to help you develop it. In my decades of experience as an organizational strategist, academic, and entrepreneur, I have seen leaders in both business and academia struggle with rapid technological changes, sudden budget cuts, and political unrest. I partner with leaders to navigate these and other uncertainties.
Together, we can sustainably grow your organization and position your team for success.
Survival to Success
Leading Small, High-Growth Enterprises
Most leadership books use Amazon, Apple, Walmart and MasterCard as models. But the challenges of running smaller firms are very different than those of huge multinationals. This book is written for leaders of small, high-growth, for-profit and non-profit organizations in a vast array of industries.
Based on interviews with 35 founders and CEOs, we distilled 10 common themes to guide you in your role as an entrepreneurial leader. This book will help you grow as your organization grows.
Plan to Pivot
Agile Organizational Strategy in an Age of Complexity
“Plan to Pivot” presents an innovative approach to planning and strategic management that highlights flexibility, responsiveness, and agility.
The book explores how risk is accelerating through climate change, political unrest, globalization, technological advancement, and misinformation. Businesses are therefore more volatile, and organizations should be trying to understand how to prepare to pivot away from the next crisis and toward stability and opportunity.
