Bill Wells is a Senior Managing Director - Executive Coach, C-Suite Strategy Advisor at Broderick Associates. Colleagues describe them as "I've had the pleasure to work with Bill over the past five years, and most recently on a year-long engagement where we succeed in helping the client turnaround several highly-visibile initiatives. The #1 reason we were able to achieve that? It was because of Bill's mentorship, steady-hand, technical experience and ability to create a culture that fermented group success, camaraderie, and trust. As a mentor, Bill made it a priority to take time with 10 to 12 individuals within his organization to understand their motivations and help connect them our own objectives. He would support me as I took risks or stepped into roles that stretched me. His drive to grow others has influenced me to model many of my behaviors after him. So much so, that I recently was awarded a national mentorship award (just like Bill) and I believe it is all in due part to his guidance and coaching. What makes working for Bill such a great experience was also the fact that he drove a positive culture that enabled high-performing and competitive individuals to gel together in a way that there was trust, support, and partnership. This is especially important because it enabled us to deliver at a higher level of efficiency and effectiveness. He intuitively knew how to bring individuals together, how to focus on problems, and making us excited to get into the challenge. Ultimately, as a result of Bills leadership, our team was able to financially grow the business, promote several high-performers, and drive strong change to help our client succeed for the long-term. I would enthusiastically jump at the opportunity to work for Bill again. " and "I first worked with Bill Wells at Tandem Computers, where I headed HR for the business unit where Bill was hired to build a strategic financial operation that could support the needs of our increasingly complex and competitive business. He quickly took the reins, introduced new methods, re-energized and upgraded the staff, and really changed the game, first in the field and then in the corporate functions, resulting in great financial results and a new partnership and valued advisory relationship between the finance and business operations functions. Over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to work with Bill and his teams as a consultant, notably in his roles at Charles Schwab, where I again had the opportunity to see the contributions he made, both as a highly competent and creative senior executive and as a superb leader of people. Bill is a strong change agent, able to accomplish difficult change, quickly, with minimal breakage, with both a hard nose and a soft touch. He is a polished and influential communicator and presenter, good at making his case and getting real buy-in. He is focused, positive in his approach, a trustworthy business partner, and very smart. He sees solutions quickly and is able to martial others to pursue and achieve goals. Additionally, he shares his expertise willingly and is avid about learning from others. People want to work with him and under his guidance, they get really good things done. As an executive performance and development consultant, I have worked with many highly talented and top performing senior executives and Bill is one of the best."
