Everywhere leaders turn today, they face paradox. Do we focus on the short term or invest in the long term? Yes. Do we drive performance or develop our people? Yes. Do we foster the agility of entrepreneurship or the reliability of control? Yes. Managing these tensions is important for all leaders, but imperative to an agile growth company because the very people who drive a company's growth can have an almost allergic reaction to control. Working with the science of the energy patterns and the art of managing a healthy tension among opposites, I help my clients flip from "or" to "and," creating agility with accountability, and enabling sustainable growth.

FocusON Agile Growth Companies

With explosive creativity, global reach,
and technology-fueled speed,
entrepreneurs propel the growth
   of companies large and small.

Whether it's getting a big company to be agile
or an agile company to be big,
we help leaders know when and how
   to shift climate, culture,
      and their own practices,
        that both they and their companies
           are sustainable.

Agile growth companies need leaders...

who themselves are growing - leaders who are not prisoners of their personality, but rather know who they are and how to use that to make things happen. These are often innovators and doers who are impatient for progress. Yet to create sustainable value, they need the patience to build strong teams and partnerships. While they may expound their vision with passion, they also need to listen deeply to engage and influence others. While they may love the start-up or turnaround, they need to read where the company is in its lifecycle, and what shifts are needed for the next stage of growth.

We help these leaders...

know themselves and build the practices and relationships that make them wholly effective;
gain clarity of purpose, and develop a compelling vision and strategy;
manage the many paradoxes of agile growth companies;
build a strongly aligned team and a climate of full engagement;
shift the organization's culture to embody success;
understand where the company is in its lifecycle, and what's needed for the next step of growth.
