Every organization is unique. Howard’s approach is customized to build on each organization’s key strengths by drawing on and harnessing its knowledge and experience. The objective is not to build dependency but to maximize the impact of the organization’s people. 

Non-financial targets are critical. Howard works with Boards and senior leadership teams to assess and develop the organization’s human capital in line with strategic demands. An effective human capital strategy must align the organization’s business strategy and its behaviors in meeting the needs of customers and the demands of the market. Howard helps leaders focus on what is really critical in that regard so that they can meet targets with efficiency. 

Leaders must do more than just manage other managers today.

In order to develop, retain and get the most from key people, a leader also needs to be an effective coach. Howard provides leaders with coaching skills that enable them to meet the challenges of a workforce that often feels it knows more than the leader does. 

Organizations must leverage their leadership strengths to compete effectively. Howard works with senior leaders and leadership teams to raise their levels of performance from good to excellent by focusing on business demands.
