Jonathan designs and develops strategies, tools, and approaches for FMG Leading's clients to assess and improve their leadership bench strength.

Many organizations continue to struggle with fundamental questions about the readiness of their leaders and the value of their leadership development programs. How strong is our bench? How deep? What critical leadership capabilities do we require today, and how will these change in the future? How can we measure the contribution of our leadership development efforts to corporate performance?I bring deep experience across industries ranging from entertainment and media to financial services, engineered manufacturing, technology, and more and a track record of creating measurable, meaningful increases in leadership capability, readiness, and contribution. Whether we're working together to build an entire leadership development framework, an executive coaching program for a top team, an assessment strategy to qualify front-line managers, or any other aspect of talent development, my clients know to expect an evidence-based approach that yields measurable progress.
