Bill believes that the complexity of leading in today’s 24/7, wired, global context requires that leaders step back from their conditioned ways of leading that may have worked well in the past and expand their ability to see a bigger, more complex picture, engage with stakeholders in new ways and develop new resources for resilience, flexibility, and presence to effectively lead their organizations and communities forward. He is known for his straightforward, insightful approach to helping leaders and organizations navigate this complexity by identify habitual patterns of thinking and behavior that promote or detract from their effectiveness. Taking a systematic approach, he uses a cycle of assessment, challenge, and support to accelerate development, enhance performance and expand impact through the development of new ways of being, thinking and acting. His approach reinforces coaching and feedback, by creating a cycle of action and learning that leads to sustained, effective improvement in performance.
