Leadership Assessment and Coaching
“Are you playing to win? Or playing not to lose?” Adams and Anderson Mastering Leadership
Have you ever stepped into that exhilarating "zone" of leadership—where you're fully present, playing to win, and everything flows with purpose? That's the creative edge where true impact happens, and it's more achievable than you might think. As a certified Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) coach with over 40 years of experience, I coach leaders to evolve in ways that allow them to spend most of their time in that creative zone, where they create organizational cultures capable of exceptional results.
My approach is deeply rooted in adult stage theory, which was the cornerstone theory of my doctoral program. My professor and therapist, Dr. Ed Trembley, literally wrote the book (Relational Therapy) on how to conduct therapy using Robert Kegan’s adult stage theory. Later, I trained with Bill Joiner, the co-author of Leadership Agility, which was the first book to integrate Kegan’s adult stage theory with leadership. While the Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) incorporates many models of leadership, its ‘backbone’ is adult stage theory, the cornerstone of my approach.
The LCP measures 18 creative competencies that are correlated with leadership effectiveness and business performance. It also measures 11 reactive tendencies—based on Karen Horney’s model of childhood coping styles that activate under stress: 1. over-controlling others and the environment, 2. distancing and judging others, or 3. becoming passive and silencing your voice. In my approach, we will work on how you can evolve to a higher stage, where you will no longer need these childhood coping styles. This allows you to spend more time improving your creative tendencies and being in the zone.
