Leadership & Personal Development
About Wheelwright Associates
Our Approach
For over 35 years, Wheelwright Associates has evolved a highly personalized leadership and personal development process that invites the client to recognize and implement their potential. The development of wisdom is the process of recognizing both light and shadow in character, and managing their integration successfully. We know change is hard, and that the only way it occurs is through patient acceptance and a willingness to continually explore the present moment and its impact on results at work and in the world at large.
Assessment/Exploration/Action
Our primary assessment tool for individual exploration is the Enneagram presented in the narrative tradition. For teams we utilize a simple, dynamic model to quickly illuminate the internal structures affecting team performance. Implementing learning, taking action, following through with feedback are all part of the hands-on, realistic approach we take in our work. Our goal is to help clients to integrate disparate and sometimes opposite views in the service of producing superior results.
