About John Weathington
Dedicated to Helping Leaders Achieve Excellent Results
The most successful leaders in life are the ones who inspire a following of smart and talented people
I help top executives and strategic business unit leaders overcome difficult challenges with strategy, organizational design, leadership development, and transformational change. In a recent effort, I helped the leaders of a precocious, high-tech firm develop a strategy to accelerate their growth from $1B to $5B in revenue within four years.
I have had the great fortune of working with some of the most incredible leaders of our time, Fortune 50 top executives who control billions and billions of dollars and who make decisions that can affect our global economy. The pattern I see with the very best leaders is that they inspire a following of incredibly talented people and surround themselves with world-class experts and trusted advisors.
I would be honored to be part of your team. Please reach out if I can add value to your life in some way.
