The Goodness Pays Leadership System©

Helping teams turn challenges
 into opportunities.

Most companies have financial systems, sales systems, and operating systems. What’s missing is a leadership system that pulls them all together to improve business results. The Goodness Pays Leadership System© is research-based, and builds on the common-sense idea that Goodness Pays. It’s about creating alignment, commitment, and open accountability within your team. With coaching, these commonplace business challenges turn into opportunities for you to thrive:

Our strategy is not clear to everyone and our teams are pulled in opposite directions.

Hair-on-fire decision-making is creating confusion and fostering burnout.

Superhero leaders are dominating our culture and hurting our confidence.

Employee engagement scores are low and our results are suffering.

Top leaders are retiring and with no bench support our teams are vulnerable.

Our team decision-making is slow and we’re not aligned in our work.
