John Guyer
John Guyer, Executive Director of Information Technology at Summit Academies, invited TregoED to work with the executive team in developing a strategic plan to guide the largest charter school organization in the state of Ohio dedicated to students and adults with special needs. Through John's collaborative leadership style and keen understanding of the organization, a stakeholder group gave valuable input as well as identified a strategic leadership team of seven. John kept the momentum at a high level during the 3 month process. Working closely with Patricia Schwarber of TregoED to design and develop the 3 year strategy, the end result was a detailed implementation plan, approved by the Board of Trustees in a unanimous decision at their board meeting. That decision was very much a result of the leadership and dedication of John Guyer, who continues to build capacity by practicing critical thinking strategies with his executive team at Summit Academy Management. As John says, "Take a minute: look at your goals, look at your performance, and see if your behavior matches your goals." That is why great leadership is the reality at Summit Academy Management!

Case Study Demonstrates KT Strategies Break Down Workplace Silos
Decision making is often rife with issues resulting from lack of coordination and communication between departments working as independent silos. A recent case study by the Colorado Springs School District 11 Grants Office demonstrates how one school district addressed interdepartmental conflict and the resulting ineffective management. The district implemented TregoED training on an approach developed by Kepner-Tregoe, an international leader in building the problem-solving and decision-making capacity of organizations to achieve true collaboration.
