Pushing you to think differently

I had the opportunity to work with Brad on several key initiatives for our business. . .  He has the ability to not only look at an issue strategically but also partner to define a solution and execute against that successfully.  Brad brings a passion and enthusiasm to his work and is always asking how can we do things better and smarter.  He has challenged me to look at things differently and the value of the outcome has been increased many fold because of his thinking and coaching

One of Brad's key strengths is his ability to change the way people think.  He asks insightful questions that challenge our assumptions and introduces new models to broaden our thinking.  Many of the concepts that have become pervasive in the language and culture of our group tie directly back to Brad's original ideas.

Brad is a trusted resource for leadership development issues.  He is particularly skilled at pulling together seemingly disparate perspectives into a single coherent framework and then, within that framework, offering practical approaches to developing leaders.

Over the 15 years that I've known Brad, I always have been impressed with his ability to quickly distill a complex discussion into a few key issues that allow us to focus and proceed. In every case the decisions were creative yet pragmatic, simple yet profound.

Thanks for the awesome conversation this morning and the articles. I look forward to reading them. Your questions and comments really helped me to focus on the end results desired and move past the complexity of trying to looking at each dept individually.
