Dare to Lead
“Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
–James Baldwin
Senior Leadership
We believe that an organization’s results are a direct reflection of the leaders’ performance. Improve the leadership, alignment, and performance of the senior team first, and with focus and work the rest will follow.
Great leaders consistently practice five attributes. We call these our Leadership Pillars:
- See the world through reality and make tough decisions.
- Build a culture of leaders within your organization. The keys to this are open and courageous communication and risk-taking.
- Focus intently on the top issues and opportunities that can move an organization forward. That means your top people, top programs/products, top partners.
- Build an open and courageous culture – transparency builds trust. This is key in the 21st century.
- Make decisions from clarity, not perfection, and move organizations fast.
We teach our clients a simple, extremely effective leadership model that helps you stay aligned and focused on those top people and tough issues, while practicing the values necessary to build trust throughout the organization and community.
Our senior-leaders customized program and support options include:
- Mission, vision and values development and/or clarification
- Senior team strategy and goal alignment
- On-going or one-on-one coaching and organizational advising
- Board development and alignment
Developing Leadership
We believe the vast majority of people are capable of far more than they know or believe. We also believe you can lead from any position, whether front-line associate or executive, and we structure our leadership development programs to provide the opportunity for all team members to practice and demonstrate their capacity to lead. We ensure all team members have the chance to make recommendations, to provide feedback to one another, and to participate in making decisions to tackle tough issues they face.

The Pinnacle Leadership Model
This two day offsite is the hallmark of Pinnacle’s programs, with a goal of exposing the tough issues that hold an organization back and then making the decisions and action plans to resolve those issues. We’ll use experiential learning and proven methods to get to the hot issues fast, press for decisions and align teams to drive accountability.
Leading Through Turbulence
Pinnacle offers one- or two-day offsite programs to assess how your team performed through crisis. We’ll dig into how to move forward, make decisions and take action to emerge from turbulence stronger. We also provide executive coaching to share our decades of experience of thriving in change and turning crisis into opportunity.
