Our History

Why Brighton Leadership?

Leaders can make life miserable or magnificent.

It all begins with leadership. That was the first thought that inspired the creation of Brighton Leadership.

We believe in solutions not billable hours. That was the second thought that inspired the creation of Brighton Leadership.

After building a multi-million-dollar management consulting practice (we were part of the leadership team that took it from $350k to $36 million in 3 years) we realized that to deliver with quality, excellence and no B.S., we needed to start our own firm. Rather than scale our firm with lots of internal people, we scale our client’s skills and capabilities in the way we work together. Rather than create dependence on our tools and our people, we leave our clients better off than when we started working together by transferring our knowledge and know-how to our clients’ team.

We believe in constant improvement, both for ourselves and our clients. Since our inception we have reinvested a minimum of 10% of our annual budget in our own growth, learning and discovery for the benefit of those we work with.

Created Capability. Change capacity is at a premium. Change capability is essential. We helped an insurance company assess their capacity, define their change capabilities and create a Strategic Change Office with a place on the executive team. This is full-force focus on the strategic importance of change and how it can be used as an accelerant rather than an impediment to growth. The organization is thriving, with increased capacity for change led by a network of Change Agents who serve as the formal ‘grapevine’. No wine is produced here, just effective communication and successful change throughout the organization!

Isolation can cripple CEOs and other organization leaders. When people only tell leaders what they believe he or she wants to hear, leaders start “breathing their own exhaust,” creating a distorted view. We have helped several executives overcome this ‘illness’ in the past several years by telling them the truth and helping them gain perspective. No one can take your mother’s place, but it’s helpful to find someone who doesn’t have “skin in the game” to give you feedback.

What business are you in? Who is your customer? How do you explain your strategy?  These are simple questions that, if left unanswered, create misaligned priorities, stagnant productivity and de-motivated employees. We’ve helped leaders uncover roadblocks to implementing their strategic goals, and created clarity that’s resulted in increased performance, profit and employee engagement.

Like computers, executives occasionally need to press the reset button or upgrade their “firmware.” Unfortunately, the daily grind of life can hold you back from your potential.  A VP of a financial services company worked with us to Deconstruct Her Future©.  This executive gained clarity of focus, and a fresh perspective on where to direct her strengths in order to maximize her success.
Most managers and leaders have chinks in their armor or underuse their strengths. We have coached some talented people, enabling them to defy their deficiencies and more effectively leverage their strengths. These individuals gained confidence, and the companies accelerated their growth.
The leader of a high tech organization wanted to grow his firm but couldn’t articulate the right business model. We identified his options and created a plan that helped him achieve new levels of growth in the past two years.

However, it’s also hard work. It requires capital, a clear strategy, the correct people and the right systems. As pro bono facilitators for the Emerging Leaders Initiative, we guided a process to increase participation, resolve roadblocks and develop a strategy for the future direction.
