Tim Runge is a Director of Organization and Business Effectiveness (Principal Consultant) at Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Colleagues describe them as "Tim and I worked together for almost two years and during that time, Tim led by example and created a work environment where I and others reporting to him could fearlessly learn new skills and experiment new things with the goal of serving the organization to become more effective, efficient and customer obsessed. Tim has a keen understanding of how to listen to the stakeholders and to develop working agreements to collaborate towards solving a problem. Tim has an amazing ability of building people's skills while solving a problem. Tim is extremely approachable and is a pleasure to work with. I loved brainstorming ideas with Tim and it brought joy to my work when we could be open, honest and vulnerable while learning or solving a problem together. Tim is an expert coach and second coach. He guides the learners to build their capabilities by providing immediate feedback and not forgetting to celebrate successes. Tim would be a great asset to any organization that is looking for a leader who can help an organization to delight their customers by aligning the principles, systems and tools to achieve their goals." and "Working with Tim is an experience of true partnership — he consistently creates an environment where it feels like our individual contributions magnify each others’. He is an outstanding coach; he challenges me with thoughtful questions that stretch me just past the edge of my comfort zone, in the most comfortable, supportive way. Tim also has a knack for seeing and understanding the inner workings of a broader system: an ability to dig into where and why it’s breaking down, and then take action to start solving the most significant problems. I have learned so much from Tim, and it has been a true pleasure to work with him."
