The public sector is not just guided by the maximization of profit but is often values-based. Schools want to educate, healthcare organizations want to provide high-quality care, a fire department wants to put out fires, and prevent them if possible too. This broad sense of responsibility attracts a different kind of employee, motivated by the purpose and values of the organization.





Best intentions

When it comes to healthcare organizations, their mission is helping to enhance the quality of life for a country’s population.

How we can help


  • By contributing to insights on the types of leadership that are needed to realize the change agenda, in order to significantly improve quality of care and drive cost down at the same time.

  • By helping to improve the performance of the team as a whole. Success has its roots in the diversity of skills, experience, and backgrounds in a team, and its legitimacy to address the behavior. It’s not just about skills or competencies. An organization’s purpose and ambition is ultimately the main driver of a board’s behavior, legitimacy, and performance.

  • By finding the right personalities who fit with the purpose and responsibility of a healthcare payor or provider. We aim to find individuals who create the right stories and demonstrate the leadership style that will motivate an organization to embrace change and drive success.
