About
I got tired of knowing a lot about leadership
and seeing little change in how I actually showed up.
I'm David Morris. I've spent 28 years in Human Resources, most of it helping leaders build and maintain high performing teams.
The short version
For the last decade I've designed and run leader development programs, from front-line supervisors to senior executives — administering more assessments and 360s than I can count, and coaching leaders through what to do with what they learned.
What surprised me: the content was rarely the problem. Most leaders have sat through solid programs, read the right books, and gotten accurate feedback. What they lack is a simple, repeatable structure for turning any of that into a daily habit.
That's what this site is for. Not another framework. Not a program to roll out. Just a stripped-down approach to the part most of us skip — the doing.
My background is in measurement: I spent my first seven years analyzing jobs and designing tests to predict performance. That instinct shapes everything here — don't assume something worked. Ask. Then ask again in ninety days, and let the answer be the answer.
I built this because I kept watching smart, motivated people leave good programs and go right back to doing what they'd always done. Not because they didn't care — because no one gave them a structure small enough to actually use.
This is my attempt at that structure.
