Ann and Pam have worked with investors and schools that have been newly acquired by larger companies, supporting a smooth transition and demonstrating respect for the newly acquired organizations’ achievements and culture. Assignments have been in the US, Middle East, Latin America, South America, Russia, Southeast Asia, West Africa, Europe, and the UK, with not-for-profit schools, for-profit schools, and charitable trusts.

A passion for leading with respect enables their work to be successful.
The authors write, “Leadership is a complex mix of a little of this and a little of that, depending on circumstances. Your challenge is to become knowledgeable, confident, while developing your cultural intelligence so that you make the right choices at the right time that fits your circumstances. Plan your journey for personal development with thoughtfulness and care. This journey involves reflection, challenges, and an honest appraisal of the skills you have. There will be some pleasant surprises as you note the skills that you do have and perhaps some uncomfortable realizations as you identify areas that need honing to greater perfection.”
