Our Mission
To help leaders become the best they can be for their teams, their organizations, and themselves.
While there are many resources that address leader behavior, corporate strategy, and execution, they often target the C-suite and senior executive teams with a tangential reach to other leadership levels. The Richardson Leadership Group seeks to combine these topics into a comprehensive conversation, providing meaningful advice to those accountable for delivering results. We support leaders two, three, and four levels below the C-suite who must successfully lead their teams every day to achieve corporate goals while striving to become the best leaders they can be. Through practical advice and an engaged community, we strive to close the gap between concept and action. Community members learn not just what they can do to become a better leader but how they can do it, starting immediately.
