Greetings!     

"Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery. Everyone feels that he or she makes a difference to the success of the organization. When that happens people feel centered and that gives their work meaning."  Warren G. Bennis, American scholar, organizational consultant and author.

If you want to transform the culture and results of an organization, leaders need to connect heart-to-heart with their people. This will transform their spirit, resulting in a group of motivated, passionate people who feel valued, cared for, and connected with their leader and the organization.

head, heart, resultsLeadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.

The Batten Group can help you find leaders who know the importance of leading with their heart, not just their mind; leaders with proven track records that equal impressive results. 

Trust us to make a difference.
 
Sincerely,

Jim Batten

Client Testimonial
 

The Batten Group took the extra time to explore and understand not only the vision but perhaps more importantly, the culture of my organization before submitting candidates for our Vice President of Major and Planned Giving. Finding the right skill set was critical but the right fit was equally important for a small staff team.

 

Jim Batten pursued this relationship from the perspective of the customer, focusing his time and energy on gaining sufficient familiarity with our organization to find the right blend in a candidate. He positioned himself as a sincere partner in our success, working toward a search that would enhance our growth potential.  

 

We have partnered with Jim Batten and The Batten Group to fill three critically important positions in 2010.

 

Chief Executive Officer,

National Nonprofit Health & Research Organization,
