The number one defining characteristic of success in organizations is people and how they work together. Successful organizations have the right people, capitalizing on competencies and talents, able to see the vision and motivated to get there. The difficulty for many is to build a passion to be more than ‘ just good enough’ – to move past personality differences, organizational politics, silos and hoarding of resources to a high performance model of doing the work. That’s where we come in. We come alongside an organization that wants to challenge status quo, and help to provide the road map to make it happen. It might begin with an organizational assessment, strategic planning or a dialogue with leadership. It might include training middle managers or even building an in-house training team. Or, it might even mean coaching of an executive to change his or her approach. New Directions, servicing clients from around the world since 1984, focuses these efforts into their 5 Pillars of Service: Facilitation Management, Employee Training & Development, Customer and Staff Surveying, Leadership and Executive Coaching, and Organization Strategy & Assessment.
