The Goodness Pays Leadership System©
Helping teams turn challenges into opportunities.
Most companies have financial systems, sales systems, and operating systems. What’s missing is a leadership system that pulls them all together to improve business results. The Goodness Pays Leadership System© is research-based, building on the common-sense idea: Goodness Pays. It’s about creating alignment, commitment, and open accountability. With coaching, you will turn these commonplace business challenges into opportunities for you to thrive:

Our strategy is not clear to everyone and our teams are pulled in opposite directions.

Hair-on-fire decision-making is creating confusion and fostering burnout.

Superhero leaders are dominating our culture and hurting our confidence.

Employee engagement scores are low and our results are suffering.

Top leaders are retiring and with no bench support our teams are vulnerable.

Our team decision-making is slow and we’re not aligned in our work.
Using a System Built on Ground-Breaking Research
Ground-breaking research from the How Goodness Pays book confirms that leaders who have a compelling plan and make timely and transparent decisions in a team-based culture deliver better business results. The one-question survey, called the Goodness Pays Score, is a statistically significant predictor of business results.
Using a 1-10 scale: How would you rate your direct leader on proactively
promoting goodness in his/her decision-making within your organization?
