    As an executive advisor, coach, and consultant, Dan Norenberg designs and delivers growth experiences for executive teams that improve leadership performance and organizational results through a transformative process called Executive Ownershift®.From his experience, most executive teams are a collection of highly talented and experienced leaders, yet very few of these teams perform at their best.When leadership teams don’t play at their best, it puts their entire company at risk.His work starts with the executive leadership team because they are the moral and performance barometer for the whole company. When leaders truly want to change and improve their business, they must see themselves as the starting point for change and growth.Most organizations and consultants see leadership as an individual endeavor.
