Our Firm
Triangle Performance, LLC is a solutions-focused management consulting firm specializing in executive improvement, leadership development and organizational effectiveness.
What makes our firm different?
Simply put, we know leadership when we see it, and better yet, we can help you see it by identifying the characteristics, traits, and behaviors that will make the leaders in your organization successful. One-size definitely does not fit all, which is the reason some leaders succeed in one organization but fail miserably in another. Your organization’s culture is unique, its challenges are unique, and it stands to reason that its leadership needs are equally unique.
The drivers for employee performance are simple—don’t let anyone with a new, glossy hardback tell you different. People must have the knowledge to perform their job, the motivation to do so successfully, and the processes in place for them to put that knowledge and motivation to work for the organization. We help connect those drivers with your leaders. At all levels.
Knowledge. Motivation. Process. It’s what we do, and we do it well.
We also shoot straight. To prove that point, here’s a little about us, delivered with our unique brand of honesty:
| Consultant-Speak | Reality |
|---|---|
| Triangle Performance LLC was founded in 1998. | Triangle Performance was incorporated in 1998, did business for a couple of years, and then was dormant for a couple more while the principals were back in the corporate world. We started up again in 2004 and have never looked back. Kevin B. was flying solo until 2014, then we grew from one consultant to two, adding my best friend Col. Kevin Ross. Why do one-person “firms” say “we” all the time, anyway? As your grandfather would say, “You got a frog in your pocket?” |
| We have a network of consultants that can help with any project, no matter the details or scope. | We know all the same out-of-work, interim “consultants” that you do, and if we include a reference to them here, we look bigger. We actually have two consultants; we work from home offices, and it’s pretty damned unlikely we can’t handle the workload. When one of us says “I’m in the office today,” it more than likely means “I’m not traveling, not with another client, not golfing, and I’m reasonably available.” |
| We have offices in Houston and Austin. | Each of the two consultants mentioned above have their home (office) in Houston and Austin. Ergo… |
| We create custom-solutions for your organizational challenges. | We may create something for you from scratch, and it’ll come at a premium. Most likely, we’re going to draw on what we’ve done and the resources we’ve used before (within confidentiality confines) and tailor it to your specific needs. Hardly anyone today needs a custom, from-scratch solution for challenges faced by so many other organizations. The needs analysis must be unique, and the application will be unique—because your organization is unique—but the solutions can be (and should be) kept as simple as possible. Employees, including executives and receptionists, do better with simple. |
Here are some facts (decidedly not consultant-speak) about Triangle Performance:
| We believe strongly that… | We utterly reject the premise that... |
|---|---|
| Leaders make a bigger difference than any amount of capital investment. | Unsuccessful managers must be replaced (at least before real efforts at improvement). |
| Leadership is a learned skill that should be continuously developed. | There is only one way to lead. |
| Occam’s Razor—simplicity first—should drive your thinking. If you hear hoof beats, it could be zebras… but it’s probably horses. | There are no new leadership concepts – there are only new authors. Real, meaningful leadership hasn’t changed significantly in a couple thousand years. |
| Leaders learn better from leaders; having “been there, done that,” makes a difference. Certifications, training and coaching qualifications, and even authoring books—may have some value—but if they haven’t really led others, can they really teach leaders to lead? Simply put, no. | Leaders can learn effectively alone, in a vacuum. Nothing beats a homogeneous team of leaders learning, developing, succeeding and failing… together. |
