Why Dawson?

We have helped numerous CEO’s to be successful in complex, challenging environments with their board, a new strategy, a conflicted or under-performing team, aligning culture with a new strategy.  Few executives know how to create and shape a high-functioning team, perhaps the single most powerful tool available to the top leader for defining the culture. A strong culture is rocket-fuel for the strategy and a competitive advantage that is difficult to imitate.  High-functioning teams and strong cultures never come about by themselves. It is always the result of leadership that knows what to expect and how to get there.

Assessment is serious business and we are ever-mindful of how our conclusions about people have great value, but can also be harmful, if not accurate and skillfully articulated. Any conclusion we draw from an assessment has multiple data points to support it. Clients speak of high value add coming from the insights both our Coaching and Executive Assessments provide. Every person has value and is important, there are no ‘routine’ assignments.
