When someone underperforms, most leaders reach for training or termination. Michael's ATD Press model names the seven places the real answer lives, and shows leaders how to diagnose before they prescribe.
Harvard researchers found only about one in five senior teams performing at a high level. Michael unpacks the seven drivers of executive team effectiveness and the peer accountability that separates cohesive teams from drifting ones.
Michael spent six years leading culture transformation inside one of the nation's largest public health systems: roughly 10,000 employees, four hospitals, a board watching the numbers. This is the story of what actually moves culture, told with the receipts.
Michael is partnering with the Columbia Leadership Group on original research into how artificial intelligence is reshaping leadership itself: what leaders will delegate, what only humans can hold, and how executive teams prepare now.
