What Clients Say

We worked with Batiste Leadership to develop the VOC’s three-year strategic plan. The process was engaging, customized and thought-provoking. We worked through some of the greatest challenges facing the organization. They listened, captured and synthesized our discussions into tangible and actionable components of the plan. They also supported us with tools and techniques to live our values and bring our plan to life.

Laura Stradley, Executive Director Veterans Outreach Center

I engaged with Batiste Leadership to help us empower our finance managers and build a stronger team. We learned how to align and encourage decision making at the appropriate level and were given practical tools that we were able to apply immediately. The experience changed the way I work and made me a more effective leader.

Laurie Ganon, CFO United Way of Greater Rochester

We partnered with Batiste Leadership to assist us in developing a culture of decentralization and empowerment. As a result of their work, our senior leadership team and managers are all aligned around our shared values and company goals. We are impressed with all we have accomplished and appreciate the value that Batiste Leadership brings to the company. They truly listen to us and offer a unique, authentic approach.

Colin Sheridan, President Germanow-Simon Companies

We are working with Batiste Leadership to intentionally define and bring to life our culture of empowerment and initiative.  The process is completely tailored to our company and totally engaging. The momentum we are achieving is impressive.

Brett Lemcke, Vice President RM Landscape

ARE YOUR LEADERS...

∙ Slow to react to change
∙ Overworked, risking burnout
∙ Responsible for too much day to day work, and not enough long-term strategic thinking
∙ Reluctant to delegate preferring, instead, to do it all themselves
∙ Great at technical skills, but not at people management

If you answered yes, you probably have a company…

∙ That is overly-centralized, where work is bottlenecked as team members wait for approval to act
∙ Where problems fester since team members are not empowered to solve them
∙ With low trust and poorly engaged team members
∙ With a short-termism that prevents strategic thinking for the long run
∙ Where you worry about the future of the company and wonder who will be your future leaders

If the above sounds like your company and your leaders, we can help.

We specialize in helping organizations intentionally build cultures of trust and empowerment that are decentralized and enable team members to take the initiative in productive ways. This makes the company more efficient, agile, and profitable, while also building a confident, engaged workforce that sticks around.
