Leadership advisory for people carrying meaningful responsibility.
I work with leaders facing difficult decisions, greater responsibility, and persistent problems in their teams.
Our work gives you room to think, an outside perspective, and candid advice—to decide what needs to happen and follow through.
When an outside perspective helps
You’re taking on greater responsibility. You need to rethink what you handle yourself, what you delegate, and what you expect of others.
You face a difficult decision. The information is incomplete, the options carry costs, and you need to examine your reasoning.
A team problem keeps returning. Unclear responsibilities, competing priorities, or unresolved disagreements are getting in the way.
You’re postponing a necessary conversation. You want to address the issue clearly, fairly, and directly.
Decisions under pressure
Clarify what must be decided, examine assumptions and tradeoffs, and identify the next action.
Alignment under stress
Identify where priorities, responsibilities, or conversations are unclear and decide how to address them.
Sustained performance
Review what happened, adjust your approach, and build habits you can sustain.
How we work together
We work on the decisions and leadership challenges you are facing now. I help you examine the situation, question assumptions, consider alternatives, and decide what to do next. We return to those commitments and review what happened.
Alongside practical advice, I help you notice patterns in how you decide, communicate, and follow through.
What you can expect from me
The Flinted Edge is my independent leadership advisory practice. I have commanded at every level and worked with senior leaders in combat and other high-pressure environments. That experience includes bringing people with different responsibilities and viewpoints to a shared understanding, then making and carrying through difficult decisions. Leadership coaching training through Georgetown University also informs my work.
You can expect careful listening, direct questions, and an honest perspective.
