Clients

In developing long-term relationships with our client companies, we are able to deliver more valuable on-going service as we come to know the organization, its people, its culture, its long-term goals and vision. We also value the confidential nature of each of our client relationships and fully respect each organization's and each individual's right to privacy.

Our clients range from large Fortune 100 firms to small businesses that are looking to build their leadership foundation early. Our industry experience covers a wide range and includes banking, law, retail, technology, automotive, services, sports and entertainment, publishing, construction, US government, military, defense contractors, universities, utilities, and many others.

The overwhelming feedback from our clients is that we deliver long-term value to their organizations.

President and CEO of a F300 company in the construction industry:

"I have worked with John Grinnell since 1989. We have learned that understanding the human process is the foundation to having good personal and business relationships. That is the key to success. Many of our people have had their performance and their team's performance improved through the Grinnell Leadership process. I highly recommend them."

EVP of a major national bank:

"It is my pleasure to recommend John Grinnell of Grinnell Leadership. John has worked with (our) bank over the past two years to clarify goals and objectives, and align leadership and resources in support of these goals. His process has also enabled us to develop more collaborative leadership teams across the company to execute plans. The facets of Grinnell's program that we found most effective were the organizational scan, executive retreat, and the Decathlon."

President and CEO in the construction industry:

"Unlike a lot of the 'canned' processes we typically see from consultants, Grinnell Leadership's processes are original. They will help discern your needs and customize solutions accordingly. I highly recommend the professionals at Grinnell Leadership."

Chairman/CEO of a major regional bank:

"Dr. Grinnell and his partners have all worked hard to understand us and our line of business. They are truly trusted insiders who have a long-term sincere interest in the growth and success of (our company). Their work with us has been transformative for our company and has been done with the highest degrees of integrity and competence. In the field of leadership development, I would encourage any progressive and results-oriented organization to give favorable consideration to the Grinnell Leadership team."

President of a major university foundation:

"The Grinnell Leadership system has rightly focused on the individual's responsibilities of leaders. This translates into the development of leadership and communication skills that transcends any particular industry or trade, rather, they focus on the human elements of the equation that make the difference between successful well-functioning teams and those that never seem to live up to their capacity. Based on our experience over the past 5 years, I will continue to send people to Grinnell Leadership programs because I am convinced that it pays off in our bottom line."
