Madecraft and Don Gilman

I'm a strategy consultant, speaker, author, executive coach, trainer, and self-proclaimed geek with over 30 years of experience working with hundreds of companies (Microsoft, Google, Apple, Boeing, Genentech, Hitachi, Infineon, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Sony, etc.) and thousands of other geeks wanting to maximize their personal effectiveness by improving their ability to lead their teams and organizations. If it wasn't for people, leadership would be easy! People are messy! I specialize in helping folks with technical backgrounds (a.k.a. "geeks") achieve successful outcomes by identifying and breaking through the invisible barriers that limit their results, enabling them to lead their teams and organizations, and get their desired results in this VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) environment. Specialties: - Leadership of Technical Teams and Organizations - Agility and Resilience - Critical Thinking - Group-Based Problem Solving - Organization Change Initiatives - Coaching "High Potentials" - International / Cross-Cultural / Cross-Generational Challenges - Strategic Planning
