Leadership Philosophy

Corey believes that all organizations perform upon the fundamentals of people, process, and productand that the answers to many organizational opportunity areas are often simpler than most allow them to be. With this, Corey’s leadership style supports a concentrated degree of focus andstrategic influencearound orchestrating the power behind people, process, and productto deliver a valued experience to all stakeholder groups in a simple and sustainable fashion anchored in a high-performing team culture. Organizations will naturally decompose, as no group of people organically finds a congruent path towards an agreed-upon vision, if not for the intervention of effective leadership. It is leadership that accounts for the gaps between people and processes, then leverages strategic influence to guide a team on the journey towards a set mission. Throughout Corey’s career, his fundamental core values have been, and remain to be: trust, transparency, alignment, decisive action, accountability, and teamwork.
