Leader and Team Development    Shared Goal Achievement      The Serving Leader

Our primary offerings

Leader and Team Development and Shared Goal Achievement™, a strategy execution framework, together, produce a highly effective methodology that has consistently yielded success in world-class organizations.

Leader and Team Development is a uniquely effective methodology for developing leaders and teams while simultaneously achieving strategic breakthroughs.

We believe that the ability to develop and fully engage great leaders is the real, sustainable competitive advantage for a successful organization. ThirdRiver Partners’ Initiative Based Development process develops leaders in the context of achieving significant breakthrough projects critical to the organization’s ongoing success.

We develop and employ an initiative based approach because research and our experience demonstrates that leaders develop best when they are working in real projects with real feedback from their teammates. These initiatives need to be important enough to demand people's best efforts, and for the company to hold itself accountable for results. The teams achieve many times the investment with real business results.

We are development focused because the real-time cycle of performance - observation - feedback - improvement as it occurs in initiative-based development teams is, simply, the most effective way to develop leaders.

Our process develops a pipeline of leaders who:

  • Have the competence, confidence and character to live out the key values of the organization and instill those same values in others

  • Develop faster and more profoundly than you ever thought possible

  • Respond to competitive challenges and changes in market structures with bold strategic moves that innovate and lead the company into promising new market opportunities

  • Foster shared goal achievement and collaboration within the organization

Shared Goal Achievement: A Strategy Execution Framework helps individuals, teams and organizations achieve their greater goals, implement their most important strategies and build the internal capability to achieve even more.

Shared Goal Achievement is a companywide goal setting, alignment and achievement process aimed at key challenges:

  • The need to align directors and the senior team

  • Lack of a well defined process that ensures strategies are actually implemented everywhere

  • Poor cross functional and cross-geography goal collaboration

Shared Goal Achievement assures that:

  • Employees are aligned and engaged

  • Leaders and teams are developed in the crucible of real experience
