I help leaders find which of five pillars is really holding their people back
Most organizations don't have a people problem. They have a system problem, and the most expensive fix is the one aimed at the wrong place.
I've spent nearly 30 years in manufacturing, construction and mining, with close to 25 of those years in safety and human resources. In 2015, Cindy Dove and I co-founded Dove Development & Consulting, and together we built the People Optimization System™: five pillars every organization runs on (Direction, Values, Leadership, Growth and Experience), with Communication running through all five.
In a session with me, we find the pillar that's really holding your people back and build a plan for it. Go deeper with PROOF: The POS 360™, the free POS pillar assessments, and the Implementation Guide for each pillar.
