 “Transformational Leaders aren’t reacting to the future, they are focused on creating the future.”

— J. Scott

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe in the transformative power of getting sh*t done.

It's never just business; it's about people.

Humans fundamentally want to be successful in work, family, and community.

Every initiative is a change initiative. And real change is f#cking hard.

Change demands a shift in thinking, working, and leading.

Greatness requires teamwork and grit to persevere.

Leadership is a choice, not just a title.

Everyone possesses the ability to create and lead.

Transformational Leaders see what’s next and enable teams to make what’s new.

We believe in creating the future, not reacting to it.

12 PRINCIPLES OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

OUR APPROACH

TO GET SH*T DONE, LEADERS MUST FIRST GET SHIFT DONE.  

Your team is optimized for the results you are getting. New or improved outcomes require that the humans in organizations adopt new ways of working. Transformation begins with a unified vision to drive new behaviors in order to deliver consistent and expected outcomes.

WHAT IS A TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER?

Each engagement starts with and is led by a 120VC Transformation Leader who embodies the 120VC ethos.

  • Proactive instead of reactive

  • Eliminate all work that will not result in an improvement in customer satisfaction, team member satisfaction, or profitability.

  • Disciplined about ensuring all future work meets this criterion, is socialized with senior leadership to ensure buy-in and is funded because of a universal belief that the work will contribute to company growth and success.

  • An unwavering focus on delivering the defined outcomes efficiently, instead of managing activities and spending.

  • Transformational Leaders transcend their company's business vertical and skillset by leveraging their industry know-how and education to build single, unified, high-functioning teams 100% focused on improving customer satisfaction, team member satisfaction, and profitability without sacrificing one for the other.

The 120VC Transformation leader owns and is responsible for the success of each engagement. All other 120VC team members, including the CEO, are there to support and take direction from the Transformation Leader. We work as a single unified, high-functioning team.

The Transformation Leader is working as both coach and consultant driving major shifts in the way our clients think and work. During the transformation, it's easy for customers to slip back into old ways of thinking and working, and not unusual for them to ask supporting 120VC team members to do something status quo. When that happens, the 120VC team member will bring the request back to the team and the Transformation Leader to ensure alignment with the deep work they are doing with their clients before proceeding. Otherwise, teamwork breaks down, and our clients suffer.

This structure allows our Transformation Leaders to seamlessly integrate into the client's team, channeling the full power of the 120VC collective without the client needing to manage multiple 120VC team members. It's about delivering unparalleled value with efficiency and precision.
