HELPING LEADERS LEAD
"Feedback is the breakfast of champions." - Ken Blanchard
Good leaders understand their role and have a clear vision for accomplishing the job. They also recognize the importance of feedback. Feedback inside and outside their sphere of influence.
Why? Because leaders who circle back—asking, "How am I doing?", "What are we doing right?", "What are we doing wrong?", "How can we improve?"—are substantially more effective than leaders who don't.
Circle-Back is about helping leaders of service-oriented organizations be more effective. We work with nonprofits, providing valuable feedback and practical solutions for leaders and their team.
We offer 12-types of Valuable Feedback

How We Do It
The most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better – because your job is to try to help everybody else get better.” - Jim Kim
To help you get better we ask, listen,
facilitate, instruct, create, implement,
evaluate and follow-up. We don't
point fingers or focus on short-
comings. We work to help you
and your team get better. You
may require a phone call or two,
an on-site visit, a staff seminar, week-
long training session, a management or
facility review... or an endorsement for other resources. We work collaboratively
with you and your team and focus on where you are, and where you want to be.
