Mark has provided me and my division presidents a high level of leadership consulting and coaching expertise.

Mark originally worked with me when I was CEO of a subsidiary of a global company and then in two subsequent positions as CEO over multiple business units in family owned organizations. In each case, he has a talent for identifying the core issues that when addressed, create great leverage for productive change. 

Since I continue using Mark as a valuable resource, I certainly recommend him for your Sr. Leadership needs. 

~Jay, CEO Manufacturing, KS

As an Executive Leadership Coach/Consultant, Mark very quickly identified our key individual and team development needs.

Our leadership team was already successful; however, they operated more as a group of functional leaders, requiring me, as President, to be the organizational integrator. 

Mark designed a custom approach for team and individual leadership coaching enabling us to improve our leadership impact. Immediately, there was significant and positive impact on the team dynamic. The team continues to learn and apply more with Mark’s support from the follow-on coaching. Mark earns my highest recommendation for your leadership team.  

This is one investment for which I know the ROI is rock solid. We will continue to benefit as a team and as individuals throughout the balance of our careers as well as our personal lives. 

~Frank, President Manufacturing, WI

Mark is not only a coach, he is a partner in development.

I have used Mark over the years to help me with my leadership needs as the demands of my career grew. Mark's simple approach to complex solutions always helped me see through issues in a clearer way. 

Mark draws from years of personal and professional experience to bring advice that is relevant and practical. I'd want Mark in my corner any day. 

~Manny, BU Leader Ag Industry, MN

I had the opportunity to work with Mark after assuming the role of President of a company that had an existing Management team in place.

However, this group of individuals was not truly functioning as a team, but rather a set of individual leaders for their specific areas of the business.  This added to the complexity of the situation as well as created distractions for the business.  

Mark came in and demonstrated a superb level of capability in understanding our specific challenges.  He worked with the group in a way that broke down the functional walls and built greater trust as a true Senior Leadership team.  

Initially, I was skeptical of working with an executive coach for me or my direct reports. Having a history of being the President of multiple organizations and with many years of experience, I was certain I could work through whatever situation arose. However, I quickly found through my work with Mark that there was a real benefit to bringing in an outside individual to create the focus needed and affect change to create a true, strong team.    

I was particularly impressed with how Mark worked with long-tenured experienced leaders to transform how we viewed team and organizational effectiveness. He brings an unbiased approach to the dynamic, and has a level of approachability and integrity that promotes a healthy learning environment.  In addition to the actual time spent together, Mark left us comfortable with tools that would continue to enhance our team's leadership capabilities going forward.  

I would be happy to provide a referral for Mark to work with you on your team’s effectiveness.

~Tom, CEO Chemical Industry, IL

Mark Kinnich provided an organized structure for our team to work on each leader’s role clarity, and a cohesive identity as a leadership team.

He provided a thorough overview prior to our engagement and delivered comprehensively on our agreements. He is flexible, nimble, and receptive to input “on the fly” while holding us accountable to our goals and desired outcomes. 

Since our engagement, our team has continued to apply what we learned, and follow through on our action items. I have seen each leader evolve in their personal leadership style, and comprehensively our team has identified our strategic plan, and are taking action toward executing our goals. Mark’s expertise and guidance has contributed greatly to our progress and success!

~Jenny, Section Head Healthcare, CO

My coach, Mark Kinnich, was AWESOME! I went into this process with much ambivalence and came out a true believer in the power of coaching.

Mark did a tremendous job of helping me see some of my blind spots and opening up my mind to varied ways of looking at management issues and how I manage my team to make us all more productive. 

I picked Mark as my coach out of the three I interviewed because I thought he would be the most honest with me and I believe he was. He was always respectful and thoughtful in his coaching and I attribute much of his coaching to my continued success and advancement at the Bank. I am most willing to be a reference for Mark.

~Mary, SVP Banking Industry, MN

Restructuring an executive team is never easy but doing it during a pandemic was even harder.

Restructuring an executive team is never easy but doing it during a pandemic was even harder.  Mark was instrumental in raising the performance of our leadership team, helping us come together, and perform in extraordinary circumstances.  Mark also provided me deeper insights into my strengths and preferences.  Mark took these insights and used his tremendous gift for connecting insights to concrete behaviors, to enhance my performance as a leader and my fulfillment in my role.

~Mike, CEO Ag Manufacturing, MN

Mark has helped with leadership development at all levels of our organization. Initially, Mark worked with our senior leaders to help them gain a better understanding of their individual leadership styles and that of each member of the team. He built on this by teaching the leaders better communication techniques and methods to deal with conflict resolution in a constructive manner. These lessons were very powerful for the leaders and has helped them transition from working in functional silos to operating as a cross functional team with a common focus to grow the business.

The initial engagement was so impactful, the senior leadership team requested we launch a follow-on training program with Mark to include an expanded group of leaders. Much like the initial program, Mark working with the front-line managers was very impactful. I see examples everyday where the front-line managers use the techniques Mark taught them to improve communication and accountability. There has been a big impact beyond leadership skills development. The front-line leaders were extremely grateful we invested in training for their personal development. We have seen a higher level of engagement in the business by these front-line leaders since Mark’s leadership development sessions.

Mark has been a trusted advisor to me as well. I often have calls with Mark to discuss various organizational behavior/development issues when I need a sounding board. Mark always provides great OB/OD insight to help me assess different options to improve the performance of our organization.

I highly recommend Mark to help your organization with leadership development. Your company will benefit from exceptional training and development. Also, as an executive you will gain a partner interested in helping you move your organization forward.

What We Offer

Enhancing Your Leadership Teams Ability To Create...

Strategic Effectiveness

Organizations lacking a robust strategic planning process typically have customers that aren’t sure what differentiates them from their competitors. They internally have competing priorities across functional boundaries and spend too much time fighting crises instead of building sustainable capability. Learn more about strategic effectiveness.

Excellence in Execution

Organizations lacking excellence in strategy execution typically have functional silos at odds with each other. They fall short of key goals and aren’t exactly sure why and attack problems and crises from finger-pointing, blaming perspective rather than a continuous systemic improvement. Learn more about organizational effectiveness.

Leader Cability

Leadership styles drive performance. Leadership requires stepping out of one’s preferences and habits and stepping up into whatever the team or organization needs to succeed. Organizations lacking excellence in Leadership are typically relying on the capability of a few superstars instead of an organization-wide capability that is founded on values, culture, accountability, and performance. Learn more about leadership effectiveness.
