Leaders do not function independently of their teams, so I often in up working with the individual leader in the context of her or his team. Beyond general team development, here are some specific interventions I offer.

• New Leader Assimilation. A 4-6 hour intensive session that compresses six months of "getting to know you" into a day. Great for getting a new leader quickly integrated.

• Innovative Problem Solving. This is a structured process for helping teams come up with new solutions for difficult problems.

• Vision and Values. This is not about simply creating a "mission statement", but on getting aligned as a team on the the deep purpose you hope to serve and how you will behave in the pursuit of that purpose.

• Offsite design and facilitation. Pulling your team or division together and want to do something more interactive than the same old "dog and pony show"? I have a number of highly experiential interventions for a variety of purposes and can help you integrate them into the design of your offsite.

• Team DiSC. DiSC is a behavioral style profile that helps team members express how they work best with others and allows them to "read" others and respond more appropriately.

"I worked with Chris several times in my career -- and every time he helped lead me to breakthrough results. He's patient, direct, and helps teams make positive change. He's helped me in a number of areas: becoming a better leader, defining culture and values, and being a better teammate and partner. If you are a leader in a fast-growing organization, I think that you could benefit from working with Chris."
