- Build a Healthy, Thriving Business and Team
Scale Without Becoming the Bottleneck

The result: leaders who spend most of their time creating the future, not trapped by the tyranny of the moment.

I was proud to nominate Bill as an MG100 member to help us advance systemic, extensive leadership development that increasingly creates healthy, thriving businesses, and enhances human flourishing. I look forward to our continued work.” – Alan Mulally (former CEO, Boeing Commercial Aircraft, and Ford Motor Company)
If your strategy makes sense, your team is capable, but progress still feels too slow. You’re not broken. You have a design problem.The truth? Most organizations don’t fail because of bad ideas. They fail because of how they build teams and make decisions. You don’t need more effort. You need better design.
- You hire smart people. But alignment fades after the offsite.
- You invest in strategy. But decisions stall or get second-guessed.
- You’re growing. But every step feels heavier than the last.
Stop guessing. Start designing the decisions that power healthy growth.
