HELPING LEADERS LEAD

"Feedback is the breakfast of champions."   - Ken Blanchard

Good leaders understand their role and have a clear vision for accomplishing the job. They also recognize the importance of feedback. Feedback inside and outside their sphere of influence. 

Why? Because leaders who circle back—asking, "How am I doing?", "What are we doing right?", "What are we doing wrong?", "How can we improve?"—are substantially more effective than leaders who don't.

Circle-Back is about helping leaders of service-oriented organizations be more effective. We work with nonprofits, providing valuable feedback and practical solutions for leaders and their team.

What We Do

How We Do It

The most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better – because your job is to try to help everybody else get better.” - Jim Kim

Circle-back_edited_edited.jpg

To help you get better we ask, listen,

facilitate, instruct, create, implement,

evaluate and follow-up. We don't 

point fingers or focus on short-

comings. We work to help you

and your team get better. You

may require a phone call or two,

an on-site visit, a staff seminar, week-

long training session, a management or

facility review... or an endorsement for other resources. We work collaboratively

with you and your team and focus on where you are, and where you want to be.
