What is Transformation Management?
Transformation Management is more than skill development.
Transformation Management is more than a new strategy.
Skill development and strategy are changes. Transformation Management runs deeper. Transformation includes a new awareness of your leadership choices, thinking and decisions. It includes altering the culture to sustain the kinds of approaches which are demanded today – and which could change tomorrow.
Transformation management includes the ability to be agile, to continually assess and redirect as needed, benefiting from the lessons of the past, but not imprisoned by the methods of the past. It runs deeper than new leadership skills, new data and a new strategy. It is an enhanced way of viewing challenges, options and opportunities. It is a commitment to authentic leadership, to being aware of your own ambivalence, and sorting through that for the gold nuggets of insight. It is being still enough to allow innovation. Being willing to be surprised at a great idea from a staff member. It’s the ability to engage in heated disagreement and create a solution meeting the concerns of those arguing. It is the assumption (with evidence) that participants are all rowing in the same direction, and that disagreement is on behalf of finding the best solution. It is developing a level of trust, and then renewing it on a regular basis.
When you transform managers to be attentive, authentic and accountable, the entire organization transforms as well.
Transformation Management LLC works with clients to achieve this kind of transformation of management, which transforms an organization.
I believe that to achieve this kind of management and leadership success, organizations need:
• Authentic leaders
• Management skills
• Team process
• Clear objectives balanced with agility
Building organizational strength in this way includes executive team development, as well as developing management and supervisory skills throughout the organization.
More skilled and capable managers build more effective groups. Effective management reduces the sources of lost productivity. The root causes of lost productivity are poor communication, fear, ambiguity, lack of clear direction or accountability.
Capable executives build groups which produce meaningful results for the company, their clients, and for the employees in the business.
I help companies achieve greater success through clarity of focus
and competent leadership. It takes good leaders, and many good managers to make an effective organization. Those skills enable an organization to tap the potential, passion and performance of employees to create greater results. Find out more about

What about joy?
My work with leaders is a transforming experience for me as well as them. I am brought
in for a new perspective, when the organization or role has become more complex,
to help develop new skills or amplify existing skills. That generally involves expanding
the range of skills to match situations. Its like a singer expanding the range
of notes, the octaves they can beautifully sing. Or an athlete, expanding the kinds
of situations for which they are the exact right player.
This naturally leads to exploring questions such as, what kind of a leader do I
want to be? What kind of reputation do I want to earn? How can I build trust? How
do I want others to develop? What kind of relationships do I want to build? What
kind of legacy do I want to leave? What is my brand as a leader?
All leaders are different and bring their own unique signature. Among my clients
I have found a consistent courage to explore those questions. To connect more authentically
to oneself, which is where the wisdom is. To live and lead in a way that is congruent:
acting on the outside consistent with what they care about on the inside. To create
meaning, for them, their colleagues, and their customers.
I am continually motivated by the experience, because my clients create even more
successful departments and companies as they answer those questions for themselves.
Why does meaningful work matter? In addition to the obvious, that it builds more
successful companies, in my experience it also creates joy.
I have a great job.
