Leadership Consulting

Our consultants use leadership assessments to support hiring, onboarding, development, promotion, and succession planning. This process gathers hard data about performance and achievements. Meanwhile, our executive coaching focuses on actionable development and measurable behavior change. Consultants challenge and support leaders, holding them accountable to their commitments. Since self-awareness is key to long-term success, we also incorporate 360° Stakeholder Feedback. 

The effectiveness (or dysfunction) of a team can have a dramatic effect on business performance. Each organization has its own unique dynamics and culture, so our approach is customized to meet your specific needs, including: 

Leadership Development Programs
At Ferguson Partners, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter skill building. Instead, we challenge leaders to become more effective by applying their unique strengths in new ways. We create situations for leaders to apply their learnings across a range of contexts — inside and outside the workplace. Our goal is to help participants achieve a genuine understanding of their values, strengths, and development opportunities as both individuals and team members.

Culture Transformation
We believe leaders set the tone for the organization, and teams will follow if given the opportunity to help shape the company culture. That's why we work closely with leadership to define values and behaviors that lead to success. We help your team build these capabilities and help leaders fold these values into the heart of the organization. Our approach, grounded in research and experience, is flexible but structured, with a focus on long-term sustainability.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Traditional diversity programs often fail because they focus on control and checking boxes without making a real impact. We believe it’s a mistake to rely on standardized exercises in an effort to “count heads” without making the heads count. Our approach combines research with industry expertise to build truly inclusive—not just diverse—organizations. We develop custom programs that include D&I strategies, focus groups, leadership engagement, workshops, and completely customized initiatives to create a meaningful culture of inclusion.

One of the biggest challenges for any organization is preparing high-potential talent to take on senior roles. This makes careful planning essential. Our approach to succession planning balances risk management with a developmental focus, helping you to get the right leader in place with our honest assessment of fit. And because each scenario is unique, our plan is always customized.
