Strengthen Your Team
Create a profitable work environment in which everyone contributes to their utmost.

Imagine you're the captain of a rowing crew.  Several people are not rowing at all, a couple are rowing the wrong way, and a couple rowing the right way.  That's the way many CEO's and executives feel these days.  One approach is to manage more, impose more rules and force compliance.  But we know that approach does not work well with professionals - the people you rely on for the intellectual brainpower that drives products, innovations and brands. 

Instead of managing more, I help companies increase the power of teams, boost the value of their talent, and realize an increasing return on people by:
  • Increasing employee freedom to perform and innovate by finding the right combination of expectations, accountability and rewards.
  • Creating a culture where a common sense of purpose, rather than bureaucratic policies, creates cooperation, coordination and teamwork.
  • Instilling a compelling mission that stimulates people to contribute at an extraordinary level.

Examples of how I have helped clients:
  • Extensive executive coaching to improve leadership skills, self-confidence and ability to deliver results through people.
  • Executive compensation analysis and recommendations at many publicly-held, mutually-owned, privately-held and nonprofit organizations.
  • Numerous compensation consulting projects involving base pay, incentives and profit sharing for companies in medical products, consumer durables, consumer non-durables, industrial manufacturers, financial services, service business industries as well as nonprofits and government.
  • Succession plans and processes for multiple companies ranging in size from 400 to over 10,000 employees.
  • Improved management level performance planning and development process throughout a $4 billion diversified manufacturing company.
  • Significantly improved performance and people development at multiple companies through redesign of performance management and learning and development strategies and programs.
  • Increased new hire and ongoing training effectiveness at a $3 billion financial services company.  Received national recognition from the American Society for Training and Development as a Top 125 U.S. Training Organization.  Achieved in less than two years.
  • Sourced better quality teaching talent, significantly improved retention and reduced staffing costs at a large urban school district.  Led the development of recruitment and branding strategies, and the streamlining of core processes and responsibilities.
  • Increased retention and improved hiring quality of field social workers for a 1300 employee non-profit through operational assessment and process improvements in recruitment, selection, and on-the-job field processes.
  • Found alternate sources of quality teaching talent by creating the "best-in-class" State of New York Education Department approved program for alternative teacher certification.  Included benchmarking, negotiating a partnership with colleges, coordinating development of state education proposal and full responsibility for process design and effectiveness.
  • Recruitment, selection and staffing 500 seat call center in Orlando

I want to express appreciation for the highly competent and responsive professional support I received from you.  Your skill, knowledge and understanding of Board and human resource issues were invaluable.  Your warmth and sensitive manner made working with you a pleasure.
