Richard McGourty, Ph.D.

Over the last thirty years, Rich has consulted with organizations in a wide range of industries, including business, government, health care/human services and higher education. Rich strives to help individuals and organizations address the pressing needs of their business while taking into consideration the “shadow side” of organizational life – the knotty cultural and personnel matters which, if neglected, can undercut the best of plans. His areas of expertise include executive and management assessment and development; helping senior managers and teams formulate strategy; trouble-shooting with boards, teams, and organizations that are experiencing problems; and facilitating the development of high performance teams. He has published several articles on talent and leadership development, and is an accomplished speaker, having presented at various conferences and client events.
