For executives, a sounding board is a precious commodity. Someone who knows your organization, its people, its vision and its unique obstacles can be priceless. Grinnell Leadership seeks to develop long-term relationships with our client companies, so we can become that go-to source and a true partner. Our clients include industry leaders like the Orlando Magic, Wachovia, RBC Centura, First Citizens, Centex Construction, General Dynamics, Duke Medicine, Volvo, and Progress Energy. We are equally adept with the challenges of large Fortune 100 firms and small businesses that are looking to build their leadership foundation early. Our industry expertise spans a wide array of industries, including banking, law, retail, technology, automotive, services, sports and entertainment, publishing, construction, US government, military, defense contractors, universities, utilities, and many others. Most importantly, our clients consistently tell us that we deliver long-term value and concrete impacts to their organizations. One critically important realization that emerged from my Leadership JumpStart experience is that not everyone is like me, and that is actually a good thing. This may seem very elemental, but it helped me to build a leadership team with diverse strengths and talents. That’s a huge win for me and my company." —Sepi Asefnia, PE President & Founder – SEPI Engineering & Construction Through our use of programs like Leadership JumpStart and Leadership Decathlon, our division is recognized throughout the company for depth of talent and an extensive leadership pipeline. Grinnell has been an important ingredient in this success. Grinnell’s unique value comes into play at a practical and personal level – when you want to help a colleague or employee become aware and help him change." —John Tarpey Division President & CEO – Balfour Beatty US One of the most powerful things about Grinnell Leadership is that you come away with an agreement about next steps. They always get good closure and actionable outcomes. Grinnell Leadership is also not a one and done service. We feel like we have someone who knows us and understands us. John values our relationship and would drop what he was doing to address our concerns or challenges." —Jim Apple Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer – First Citizens Bancorporation of South Carolina, Incorporated Grinnell is not just about leadership. It’s about personal growth and development. All of the people I’ve sent to Grinnell have said that it has not only changed how they see themselves professionally, but also personally. The self-awareness that comes from Grinnell makes people conscious of how behaviors and thoughts begin to shape and mold leadership styles. Your greatest strengths can become your greatest weaknesses if you’re not aware." —Kevin Sowers, RN, MSN President – Duke University Hospital For us to be successful in this economy, we need to address some fundamental challenges. We need to make the organization leaner, get the right people to do more with less, keep people motivated and focused on outcomes when the future is uncertain. Grinnell Leadership speaks to all of these issues.
