Developing an anthropological mindset.

Organizational success is the result of collective effort, not individual genius. Anthropological leadership advisory helps leaders develop the curiosity and empathy that empower others to contribute to the best of their ability.

Anthropological presence and influence exist outside of the self. It is akin to the Taoist understanding of leadership where, after a success, the team says, “we did this ourselves.”

OUR APPROACH TO COACHING

Step outside of yourself.

Challenging Assumptions

All of us operate within clusters of assumptions that we rarely question. Breakthroughs often come from simple yet unconventional questions. We listen as cultural scientists to help you expand your sense of what is possible.

  • Framing

  • Problem finding

  • Decision making

Embracing Experimentation

Certainty and predictability are illusions. The world of tomorrow is yet unwritten—that is your job. Growth through experimentation and innovation is as much a mindset as it is a set of methods. Let’s explore!

  • Unlocking creativity in others

  • Participating in innovation

  • Becoming a ‘learn it all’ vs. a ‘know it all’

Navigating Paradoxes

Eighty percent of knowledge in organizations is qualitative and not amenable to spreadsheets. The rest comes from getting out of your office, observing, listening, learning, and participating. There is no way around it.

  • Leadership journaling

  • Fieldwork leadership

  • Seeking out differences
