For over 25 years, Howick Associates has been a trusted advisor and collaborative partner to leading organizations in developing talent, driving change, and delivering results. We are committed to helping leaders take action to achieve strategic priorities. While you may not have heard of us before, it is likely you have heard of or done business with our client organizations including SC Johnson, The Kohler Company, Abbott Laboratories, Children's Health and Hospital-Milwaukee, Briggs & Stratton, Northwestern Mutual and many more.
We begin by taking a systems view of leadership. While individual leader behavior and practices are critical, effective and results driven leadership occurs in a system comprised of clear values and vision as well as deep engagement in the overall strategy and competitive advantage of the organization. This means that the most effective leadership approaches are defined by the unique business strategy of the organization; effective leadership behaviors, processes, and structures vary from organization to organization.

As a result of our work (client stories), leaders are confident that they can respond “Yes”, when asked the following questions:
- Are you getting the return you would like out of your investment in developing leaders?
- Are senior leaders in your organization taking the actions necessary to drive leadership development?
- Is there clear accountability for leadership development across your organization?
- Will you have the leadership capacity to meet future strategic challenges and competitive pressures?
- Is leadership development one of your organization's competitive advantages?
Contact us now for insights into how we can help you answer with a firm “yes” as well.
