Get leadership skills you need

Evidence-based leadership development for founders who want to scale with confidence, not assumptions.

You've built a growing business, but are you leading it effectively? We help founders discover their real leadership gaps, then develop targeted capabilities that actually drive business results.

The leadership assumption trap

Your business is ready to scale, but are you leading based on evidence or guesswork?

Most leadership development fails because it's based on generic frameworks instead of research into what your specific business and team actually need. You're developing skills you think you need instead of skills that research shows will drive your growth.

Common Leadership Development Failures:

  • Assumption-Based Development: Choosing leadership programs based on popular trends, not evidence of what your business needs

  • Generic Solutions: Applying one-size-fits-all leadership advice without validating it works for your context

  • No Impact Measurement: Investing in leadership development without proving it actually improves business results

  • Team Disconnect: Developing leadership skills without researching what your team actually needs from you

  • Scaling Blindly: Growing your leadership approach without evidence it works at different business stages

Research-driven leadership approaches that drive sustainable growth

We apply the same rigorous research methodology we use with sustainability businesses to help you validate leadership gaps and develop evidence-based capabilities.

Our Approach:

  • Leadership Research: Use 360 feedback, team interviews, and performance data to identify your real development needs, not assumed ones

  • Evidence-Based Development: Build leadership skills based on research into what actually drives results in your specific business context

  • Impact Measurement: Track how leadership changes affect team performance, business metrics, and growth outcomes through data

  • Validated Implementation: Test leadership approaches with your team before full implementation, just like product validation

  • Continuous Research: Ongoing assessment to ensure leadership development stays aligned with evolving business needs

  • Proven Frameworks: Apply research-backed methodologies that show measurable impact on business growth
