Ted’s Uniqueness

Ted Santos’s Unique Perspective for Dream Clients

Ted Santos has a counterintuitive approach to leadership and growth that challenges conventional thinking and pushes leaders to create breakthroughs, instead of chasing incremental improvements. His uniqueness stems from decades of experience as an executive and advisor to CEOs.  When leaders intentionally create problems, it drives innovation and top line growth once the organization solves it.  Furthermore, it galvanizes teams, mines untapped talent, develops new skills and competencies, and positions companies as market leaders. Perhaps most importantly it drives new revenues that were not part of the corporation’s strategic trajectory.
