Me in Three
- From my time as the head of strategy for a large institution I learned how hard it is to execute strategy. That experience brought me to the field I now call home - organizational psychology. And in particular, I have the privilege of supporting leaders in high stakes situations achieve their aspirations for themselves and for the institutions they serve.
- I have a hunch that if we better understand our human operating system (what makes us do what we do) and apply its principles more widely, that we will build better organizations that allow us to thrive. Thriving being a higher bar than performing because it includes among other things sustainable growth, the thrill of the chase and fun working on hard things.
- Helping leaders, their teams and their organizations get to the next level so they can grow is the purpose of N Leadership. Umanity is social venture I founded to explore ways to apply insights about human nature to leadership and organization life. My teaching at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business gives me the privilege of working with CEOs and teaching emerging leaders at the same time. What's not to like!
