ABOUT RUSS POWELL CONSULTING
Founded in 2010, Russ Powell Consulting grew out of the work of veteran human performance technology (HPT) consultant Russ Powell.
​
After working for over 20 years as a training and performance improvement consultant, Russ decided to focus his efforts on the building and development of work teams and their leaders.
​
Russ Powell Consulting is founded on three core principles. High-performing work teams have:
-
Leaders who think systemically – They recognize that they are part of an interdependent, complex system, and they take that into account when analyzing, planning, and executing.
-
Members who are disciplined – They value and practice discipline in thought, word, and deed. They think carefully before taking action.
-
Access to the right information and the right resources – This includes clarity on performance expectations, feedback, agreements between and among each other, and clear processes and procedures.
