Testimonials

"After the financial meltdown, NetApp saw an opportunity to change, grow share and do even better. Kotter International has helped us fundamentally change the way we do business. The results have been extraordinary. Last quarter, we grew 33% year-over-year, while our competitors remained flat. While many factors have contributed to our growth, Kotter International has played a major role in helping us act with urgency and go from strong to great."

 -Tom Mendoza, Vice Chairman, NetApp

“Kotter International helped us to engage employee leaders on initiative teams to accelerate revenue from existing products and the launch of two new pharmaceutical products, as well as to improve efficiencies from duplicate and antiquated processes.”

 - Jim Robinson, SVP, Astellas

"I am certain the culture has been moved to a position where it can change. You went out of your way to help us. We are grateful and committed to becoming exemplary leaders."

 - Thomas Curley, President & CEO, The Associated Press

"You clearly sneaked under the defenses of even the most skeptical of our people and established memorable reference points which will be cited repeatedly in the future. More importantly, you delivered reinforcement, hope, and direction for their pursued leadership development aspirations. "

"Many of my colleagues came up and mentioned how you made them think (and me, by the way, too). The combination of brilliant academic analysis with clear conclusions and your human touch came across. You were a highlight of this year’s meeting. We were all touched by your personal concluding remarks, which reaffirmed our motivation to search for better drugs that change and sometimes even save the lives of patients."

- Daniel Vasella, MD, Chairman and CEO, Novartis AG    

"Celanese has worked hard over the past couple of years to build a culture of performance and we recognize that is possible only with enlightened leaders. I believe you were successful in taking us to a new level of understanding of the dynamics of leadership and in motivating many of us to 'practice' on a more emotional level."

- William A Stiller, VP Global Human Resources Celanese
