APPROACH
“People often make the mistake of thinking that strategy, leadership and ethics can be separated. But really they are three interlocking domains. Strategy is all about what the firm is doing; leadership is about the character of who is doing it; and ethics is about how the strategy is being executed. In the program design stage, I work with clients to think about how we can bring all of these messages together into separate sessions on strategy, leadership and/or corporate social responsibility.”
