Like-minded leaders.

"FMG Leading helps WindRose leverage a cutting edge approach to backing portfolio investments, clarifying the financial impact of human capital and culture through data and process. Often in Private Equity, these elements are viewed as the 'un-measurable' elements of strategy, but we've learned that the 'soft stuff' ultimately is the 'hard stuff' — and is highly correlated to successful outcomes when you get it right.

Having the right talent and culture is not only about mitigating downside events, it's also about having the best leaders in-place early to accelerate growth and enable the frequency of upside events. So often, the human element is the difference between failure and success; between an 'A outcome' and a 'C+ outcome'. By maximizing the effectiveness of our human capital, FMG Leading helps our portfolio companies scale rapidly and to the very best of their ability."

"When it comes to the rapid growth expectations associated with taking on an investor for the first time, sometimes you simply don't know what you don't know. Taking on a private equity partner requires you to look at things a little bit differently — you have to keep up with the pace and upgrade your skills so you can make the best possible decisions. FMG Leading helped us see the forest through the trees, keeping us focused on the future through a strategic lens.

The new growth trajectory at ImmunoTek created a multitude of obstacles — and also a multitude of opportunities. The team at FMG Leading helped us effectively navigate that course. Ultimately, our partnership helped us merge the old with the new, allowing us to grow into a place where our executive team was aligned and moving in lock-step with our board."

"FMG Leading is an essential partner in the development of our leaders, culture and performance. I have benefited from their trusted counsel for many years. They are an integral part of how we develop senior executives, and their unique approach has made a significant impact on our leaders and the results we achieve.

In terms of understanding what you've got, where you're at, and the pathways or multiple options around the big levers and value points that drive performance, FMG Leading is bar none the best in my experience; it's extraordinary. I don't think anyone else can crystallize the impact of culture, the barriers it presents, and the levers to drive systemic change in a team and an organization like FMG Leading can and does."

"When I first became CEO, not only did I need the support of FMG Leading to help make sure that I could be successful, I was bringing together a new set of leaders. We needed to get aligned as a team and get very focused on the goals and objectives that were going to be most impactful to our success, not only this year, but into the future.

FMG Leading is really a strategic business partner to us. They bring a broad perspective both of the healthcare industry, as well as their experience working across the healthcare continuum, to enable solutions that are customized to what DispatchHealth needs."

"Our mission at Compassus is to advance well-being and honor quality of life. FMG Leading is a thoughtful, collaborative partner that has accelerated our journey to serve more patients and families.

They bring a unique combination of end-to-end longitudinal human capital solutions and a willingness to adapt to our language, customs, and traditions. Our partnership has enabled growth and positioned us as an employer of choice in each of the markets we operate."

"FMG Leading has had a tremendous impact on our individual leaders at Hu-Friedy, and that translates into better value creation for our customers.

If you're looking for a firm that can help you navigate — in a no-nonsense way — the complexity of gathering real, unbiased, actionable feedback, and then help individuals translate that into a focused plan that will make a substantial difference in their professional life, you should talk to FMG Leading."

"The contributions of FMG Leading have been an invaluable asset to the growth and performance of our leaders, their teams and the entire company. Children's Hospital Los Angeles wouldn't be where we are today without them.

The team at FMG Leading have been my trusted advisors for over 20 years. They have the unique ability to see me and my organization clearly, and tell me the truth in a way that I can hear it, learn from it and act on it. They help me be my best as a leader."

“We have significant challenges and opportunities over the next 3 to 5 years. We invited FMG Leading to come alongside us and help us understand strategically how our leadership and teammates can better develop, alongside the growth and impact that we’re making as an organization.

It's been unbelievable to see the transformation in just the first six months. I've seen improvements on employee engagement, employee retention, and how our leaders are showing up in a way that's so much more engaging to our team. This ultimately helps us better drive our mission and focus on our KPIs, while staying true to who we are as an organization.”

"Cultural change and rapid growth are two very difficult goals for a company with new ownership and management to achieve on their own. FMG Leading helped us prepare and plan in advance for the most challenging phases of this change, easing the stress on the organization.

We make investments in human capital because a critical aspect of our business is helping clinicians and physicians be better leaders."

"We bring FMG Leading in at the inception of any new investment, to help us identify potential problems before they present themselves. There’s no playbook; every company is different. It’s really about understanding the dynamics of each investment to work on the weakness and expand on the strengths. It’s about understanding people, understanding their objectives, and putting them in the best position to succeed.

Making the decision on who the leader is of your portfolio company is probably the most important thing that we do. At the end of the day, without a great leader, we are not going to be able to optimize our investment. Our partnership with FMG Leading has definitely helped us grow our companies faster."

"My experience with FMG Leading transcends two decades and now three separate successful scaled health care service providers (DaVita, Surgical Care Affiliates, Ivy Rehab), each of which involved complete strategic, cultural and talent overhauls. I trust the team at FMG Leading in a very rare way. They are good people that share my personal and professional values and are extremely talented business partners.

FMG Leading as an organization is a class act that understands value creation — and the importance of culture, talent, and people in any such equation."

“FMG Leading came into our organization very early. We recognized that advancing our growth would continue to need a lot of support as it relates to frameworks, the structure of our operations, and ensuring our leaders were receiving ample support in cohesive team building, communication, and planning.

I see FMG Leading as an extension of our board, our advisors, of our people leadership team to help pull together all the strategic components of our work, as well as helping us pull that strategy into action.”

"FMG Leading brings experience that enables them to immediately place what type of leader they're dealing with on the senior executive team, along with their strengths and opportunities. It's very personal. It's about individual leaders and how to make them more effective — and by extension, how to make the whole organization more effective.

If you feel that your organizational effectiveness is impeded because your senior leadership team is not firing on all cylinders, or if you feel that your own limitations as a leader are impacting the organization, then FMG Leading is the type of firm that can really help you make progress."
