  • Patrick Lyons and Leb Tannenbaum identified a lack of strategic alignment in our organization, leading us to realize that we had been hiring based solely on credentials without considering cultural fit. Recognizing that employees who don't fit the culture can disengage others, we changed our hiring approach, resulting in improved employee retention and success. We also implemented best management practices, emphasizing communication among team members and leaders, which led to a significant turnaround in our culture survey results and overall company performance.

  • Leb Tannenbaum is one of the most strategic, insightful, and creative problem-solver I’ve ever known. He’s a master at building trusted relationships and connecting with clients and team members alike. His ability to mix a conventional business approach with an unconventional perspective makes him invaluable to any team. He’s forgotten more than most of us have learned and is always willing to generously share his wisdom and experience with others. Yet, despite Leb’s brilliance, he remains humble and eager to deflect the spotlight to others. You will not find a kinder, smarter, more strategic business partner to help you realize your full professional and business potential.
