About Us

Andrea Richardson-Dyer & Joe Dyer
Executive Leaders - 5 Industries on 4 Continents

Co-founders Joe Dyer and Andrea Richardson-Dyer leverage decades of practical Senior Executive Operational and Sales Leadership experience to deliver to you TANGIBLE, MEASURABLE and SUSTAINABLE RESULTS that make an impact to the “Bottom Line” of your company.

We have 60+ years experience leading management teams, across five different industries, on four continents. We leverage this diverse expertise, use our proprietary "4A Action Model", and the "Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team", to guide, challenge and mentor teams through the interactive process that identifies clear Actions & Deliverables, enabling the desired results to be achieved, while taking the team closer to being a High Performing Team.

The "4A Action Model" is built around Assess > Acknowledge > Adapt > Achieve
Leaders spend a lot of time Assess-ing (the first "A" of the 4A Action Model). However, they often fail to Acknowledge and internalize the learning from the assessment stage.

We have learned, through years of leadership experience, that Deep-Rooted Acknowledgement is the Critical Catalyst that drives us all to Act & Adapt so that we can Achieve the incremental targeted results.

We have observed, through our years in senior & executive leadership positions, in 10+ major corporations in the USA & Internationally, that this 4A Leadership Model is routinely evident at all leadership levels.

Too often, corporations and individuals get stuck at "Assess". At 4A Leadership, we help guide and mentor leaders and their teams to transition forward to"Adapt" & ultimately to "Achieve" the desired outcome.

We leverage great tool like The Five Behaviors of a Successful Team™, Everything DiSC® and Agile EQ™ along with a process that we have developed called "The Action Workshop" to guide teams to deliver more, faster and in cohesion.

  • The 4A Leadership "ACTION WORKSHOP"

    Most Leaders know about Tuckman's four stages of growth of a team:
    Forming > Storming > Norming > Performing
