About Jimmy Leppert

I am a strategy execution, growth and turnaround expert. I work with busy, often misaligned leadership teams to close their most important gaps-to-goals at speeds our clients don’t believe possible. Examples of gaps-to-goals I have helped teams close range from quadrupling the share price for a publicly traded company to improving employee engagement from an industry laggard (low 60%) to an industry leader (high 90%) in 3 years. The initiatives I've co-led with my clients have delivered over $1.6 billion in employee-led, incremental revenue and cost enhancements.To drive this scale of results, a pillar of my work is creating a culture of sustained peak performance. Along with unambiguous, quantifiable business results, my clients see employee engagement scores going from industry laggard to industry leader levels and earning best places to work awards. Peak performance and a solid culture are not mutually exclusive; you can and should have both.Prior to co-founding Empactful Advisors, I was a Managing Director at John Kotter’s strategy execution firm, Kotter International, where I led the firm’s largest, most complex global engagements and was responsible for delivery excellence across our most strategic accounts. Prior to Kotter, I was a researcher and consultant out of MIT’s Sloan School of Management where I apprenticed to Peter Senge. Through the formative experiences with these two leadership thought leaders, I have worked with some of the most recognized corporate, non-profit and government leaders around the world. Representative clients include Ascension, Banco de Mexico, Ben and Jerry’s, Boeing, BP, Chevron, Chromalloy, Coty, US Department of Defense, ExxonMobil, HMS, NetApp, Nike, PepsiCo, On Semiconductor, Real Madrid, Rolls Royce, Sellers Dorsey, Seventh Generation, Shell, Starbucks, Thyssen AG, Unilever, United Way, Ugandan Rural Training and Development Program, US Dept of Education, Walmart, and XL. Additionally, I am a well known thought leader in the leadership and results space including published articles, guest lectures at Harvard and MIT, and keynote speeches for large audiences. I earned my master’s degree from Harvard and the University of Virginia, where I also earned my undergraduate degree.

    Peter M. Senge is regarded as one of the most recognized and accomplished business gurus in the world. His book, The Fifth Discipline, introduced Systems Thinking and Learning Organizations at a global level. When Peter hired me, one of my first job descriptions included Chief of Staff, "Old School Apprentice" and Global Manager; this was arguably the coolest job I've ever had. My overarching goal was to bring alignment, momentum and impact to the individuals and organizations with whom Peter had longstanding relationships. To lead this my role included:Strategic Priorities: partnered with Peter to identify, implement and support key priorities that would create the impact at the scale we needed. Strategic Partnerships: Identified, engaged, and leveraged key partners, emerging networks, events, and clients in over 32 countries to increase the global impact of systems thinking. Complicating this was the spectrum of contexts the Systems Thinking approach was being applied in: global corporations, local non-profits, government agencies or education institutions.Director of Delivery: Ensure successful implementation of strategic imperatives. I worked directly with partners and clients to navigate large scale systemic change efforts and drive results. Figure out puzzle of complex global projects: Coordinate multiple overlapping projects and networks so as to foster synergies and support the overall growth and development of the network.“Any team or organization looking to scale learning, innovation, and peak performance will benefit from Jimmy’s leadership.” -Peter M.

  • Harvard Law School
    Teaching Team For Negotiation Workshop And Member Of Harvard Mediation Program
    Harvard Law School Sep 2008 - Mar 2012
    Cambridge, Ma, Us
    You're always negotiating- if you know it or not. If you are trying to come to agreement with someone else (and sometimes even yourself), you're negotiating. If you do not have a disciplined approach to these negotiations, you (and anyone you are negotiating on behalf of) are at a significant disadvantage. Leaders, in particular, are constantly navigating difficult and complex negotiations. Sometimes it's terms of a contract, sometimes it's another leader that just isn't able to see the bigger picture, and sometimes it's being able to get seeming disparate people to agree and move in the same direction. I help leaders go into those conversations confidently because they feel prepared and ready for any contingency. I immersed myself in the theory, research and practice of Harvard's flagship negotiation program, as both a teaching team member and member of Harvard Mediation Program's Curriculum Review Committee. With Harvard's Negotiation Workshop, I designed and taught classes on negotiation, with a focus on managing difficult conversations. I developed students'​ ability to practically apply cutting edge negotiation techniques confidently in a wide range of complex scenarios, be it law, business or social situations. With the Curriculum Review Committee I helped create a curriculum that prepares members of Harvard's Mediation Program to most effectively mediate complicated issues, in a variety of business, cultural and legal contexts.
