Founding partners: three places
Build leaders who build leaders
Grow your company's capacity to lead. Develop leaders who build capable people, create clear ownership and help teams deliver, so progress no longer depends on the same few people.
We are opening the full company program to three founding partners at a founding rate. In return, we measure the results with you and publish what we learn.
The cost you are already paying
It rarely looks like bad leadership. It looks like a decision that waits a week. A status report that stays green until it is red. A capable person who stops speaking up. A senior leader who becomes the bottleneck because nobody else was ever given the authority to decide.
None of it makes the incident report. All of it costs time, people and momentum. The Present Leader is built to change those ordinary moments, and to change the conditions that cause them.
What your company gets
The complete flagship program, run with your leadership team over about ninety days.
- 1
Discovery
Two to three weeks of interviews, a friction register, an executive honesty session and a real baseline of the numbers you care about.
- 2
Sponsor first
Your executive sponsor goes through the program before anyone else, and signs the Program Contract.
- 3
Workshop 1
A full day on Show Up and Follow Through: RESET, Commitment Cadence and the Last Mile question, practiced until they hold.
- 4
Three to four weeks of real work
Leaders apply the tools in their own work and collect evidence from the people affected.
- 5
Workshop 2
A full day on Make It Matter and Build Others: SAFE TALK, SAFE REPAIR, coaching and mentoring.
- 6
30-day sprint and day-90 decision
Your team runs a focused sprint with one application clinic, then decides on the evidence whether to continue, adapt or stop.

What we ask in return
- A participating executive sponsor and protected practice time
- Baseline data before the first workshop
- Permission to publish an honest case study, with your approval of the final text
- A testimonial, only if the results earn one
Is this a fit?
A strong fit if
- Your company has roughly 50 to 2,000 people and a leadership team of 8 to 20
- Too many decisions route through too few people
- An executive is willing to go first and own barriers
- You will protect time for practice instead of adding it on top
Not a fit if
- You want assessment results for pay, promotion or selection
- You need a one-day motivational event
- Leaders will be asked to practice with no capacity freed up
- The sponsor will not take part
Questions buyers ask
Why is there a founding rate?
The program is newly productized. We want three companies to help us measure it properly. You get the full program for less; we get honest data and a case study.
What if discovery shows we are not ready?
We say so before the workshops. If your company cannot yet supply a sponsor, practice time or barrier owners, we pause and tell you exactly what would need to change.
Do you promise a culture transformation in 90 days?
No. Ninety days is enough to see whether behaviors change in real work and to decide on the evidence. Longer-term company results are measured over six to twelve months.
Will managers see individual assessment results?
No. Private development stays with the leader. Sponsors see permitted operating information and protected aggregates only.
Can our own people deliver it later?
Yes. Internal certification licenses your facilitators to run the program inside your organization, with participant materials bought per seat.
