As a consultant, I use what I've learned leading teams to help organizations to achieve results. At the same time, I have a passion for creating environments where staff find meaning and joy in their work and customers feel respected.

Change is particularly difficult for a leader who has been with the organization for a long time, and even more so for a new leader. In many cases, having an Interim Executive is the most effective way for an organization to move through difficult change.

I've worked with many organizations that have struggled for years with morale problems, difficulty achieving results, high staff turnover, etc. In most cases, leadership wants a quick solution - have a staff party or employee of the month award on one end, come down harder on staff at the other. While this sort of thing may achieve short term results, they will not be sustainable.
