About John

Effective leadership begins with a deep understanding of self, team, and organization. My philosophy posits that the way you lead yourself is a direct indicator of your capacity to lead others.

Challenge your assumptions constantly. Cultivating sharp awareness is vital to identifying subtle complacency and purposefully guiding your growth.

Leading your team in words and actions is how you develop a track record for trust. Start with the subtle, fine details and that display your confident consistency. Your team is an extension of yourself, coordination and effectiveness require practice and vigilance.

Likely your organization is looking for “the right person” to excel in larger and more impactful leadership roles. Preparing for this requires hard work and reflection, not platitudes and posturing. It also requires being a “front row student”, someone who is deeply curious, always seeking to understand by asking insightful questions, and proactively steps up.

A holistic alignment of self, team, and organization guided by purpose, values, and actions, is a personalized, true formula that reveals your own authentic leadership approach.

Leadership can’t be downloaded, it must be earned, tested, and reflected on.
