At RAS Consulting, we believe that the proper measure of a leader is the performance of the organization in his or her absence. Successful leadership is too often explained in terms of the leader’s direct face-to-face impact on people. But the most effective leaders have a powerful influence on their organizations when they are not present. They create a certain work atmosphere or climate within the organization, and – even when the leader is absent – this climate continuously stimulates and inspires high levels of individual motivation and performance. Bob Stringer was one of the original Harvard Business School researchers who discovered and defined the motivational affects that work environments have on employee behavior and performance. Since his ground breaking publication, Motivation and Organizational Climate (with Dr. George Litwin), Bob has worked with leaders around the world and helped them implement strategies and practices to improve their effectiveness. When Bob and his colleagues at RAS Consulting engage with a client, they focus on three things:
- A Careful Diagnosis – All consulting assignments begin with a careful diagnosis of the problems and opportunities facing the client.
- Creative and Cost Effective Fixes Once the issues have been identified and priorities agreed upon, RAS Consulting will work hard to develop simple solutions that maximize the client’s chances of fixing what’s broke.
- Personal Involvement – Bob is explicitly accountable for generating the results his clients expect and he is personally involved in all of the firm’s engagements.
