Our Focus
To know how you’re doing, you must first know where you’re going.
HOW WE HELP
While our efforts reach into many corners of a company's operation, at Pennington, we are all about the team.
In our view, optimally effective leaders enable teams to perform at their best. The most elite leaders recognize this. They realize that while a high-functioning team is the most powerful catalyst of an organization’s impact, the performance of the team starts with the leader.
And so we allocate our services accordingly, applying our efforts and expertise across three main arenas.
To see where you’re going, to plot the right course, to take advantage of opportunities, and to avoid unnecessary risk, you need the right people navigating. We are experts in identifying those individuals best-suited to thrive in critical, high-stakes leadership roles — and in helping them get off to a smooth, productive start.
We provide insight-driven assessments, counsel and coaching, and thought partnership to help leaders shape their work, build teams that click, and lead to succeed in the face of the organizational or industry challenges they encounter.
We partner with you to define your required leadership standard, and then design and deliver programs and experiences to accelerate the development and performance of your leaders—blending assessments, coaching, and real-world application.

Key Leader Performance
While we customize all of our solutions to the specific goals and needs of the individual, what we bring to every leadership engagement is our commitment to drawing out the best in those at the top of the house.
Leaders charged with advancing and transforming their organizations and their teams have in their hands the most high-torque lever for impact — and using it properly is critical to driving results and the impact of the entire organization.
STRONGER LEADERS. STRONGER TEAMS.
Our team design methodologies define the ideal operating model required for your team to execute organizational strategy. Working internally and in collaboration with top executive placement firms, we ensure the teams in your charge are comprised of people who are suited to the task at hand.
Our industry leading team performance assessments shed light on your team's strengths, blind spots, and risks. We take a clear-eyed look at your C-Suite and other high-impact teams and apply our proven, high-impact processes to ensure that each group is optimized to function, create and problem-solve as a cohesive unit, at speed, and in pursuit of your strategy and performance goals.
High performing teams don’t happen by chance. The best teams in the world stay at the top of their game by monitoring team health and performance. Our practical tools and approach ensure your team is focused on continuous improvement.
Top Team Performance
Assembling a team and orchestrating solutions to help it perform at its peak is as much an art as it is a science. After all, identifying a group of smart people and putting them in a room is the easy part. Where we truly excel is in the challenging work of coaching teams to perform as a cohesive whole, to unify as a force that is greater than the sum of its parts. We are well-versed in both.
STRONGER TEAMS. STRONGER RESULTS.
Combining our decades of experience with proven methodologies for assessing, analyzing, and designing organizations, we offer targeted, plain-spoken “reality checks” and integrated solutions for building critical organizational capabilities and improving the performance of functions, business units, or entire organizations.
We apply proprietary methodologies to size up what’s working in a client’s organization and identify areas for improvement — so clients can develop a workplace where every team member feels valued, comes to work motivated to advance the company’s mission, and is set up to succeed.
We are spearheading an emerging discipline of Leader Quality Management — the framework surrounding a company’s efforts to create and activate a set of standards, practices, and processes for enhancing leadership in all areas of its operation.
