\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPaul describes himself as an informed optimist who role models the idea that \u201cwe\u201d is greater than \u201cme.\u201d With the anchoring belief that \u201cgood leadership is a team sport,\u201d Paul specializes in helping organizations let go of the risky \u201csuper-hero\u201d leadership model which is counter-productive to working together. When clients learn to lead with goodness and embrace healthy tension, their teams get better results \u2013 faster, easier.\n\nUnder his direction, Good Leadership is continually researching relevant subjects that affect teamwork and organizational effectiveness. In January of 2024, the firm launched groundbreaking research to identify the secrets for healthy accountability in the highly collaborative, teams-of-teams workplace culture most organizations have established today.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
