Ché + Assisi Consulting unleashes the leadership potential in individuals and organizations. Leading change is never easy. Courageous leadership challenges the status quo when it is no longer producing the intended results.
Courageous leadership distinguishes between technical and adaptive challenges. Technical challenges can be managed by identifying the best authority and standard operating procedure to assure efficient and effective solutions. Adaptive challenges require compassionate, empathetic and motivational leadership to mobilize individuals and organizations to embrace adaptive change.
