Roland Smith, Senior Faculty Member for the highly respected Center for Creative

Leadership, recently observed, "Stakeholders are starting to ask companies hard

questions about their succession practices — and whether leaders are prepared to get

through the current crisis and capitalize on future opportunities. Do they have the right

skills, knowledge and experiences? … Many companies don't know the answers to these

questions."

"I couldn't agree more," asserts Barbara Stennes, CEO of Iowa-based Resources

Unlimited, "and we've made it a priority to support our clients in leadership assessment

and development right now—in spite of slashed budgets and diminished morale.

Stakeholders demand it, and rightly so. Our services are designed to answer the critical

question Roland poses regarding leadership readiness. We pinpoint the strengths of your

developing leaders and help them capitalize on their individual style to effectively

engage and lead others."

Resources Unlimited's unique approach lends itself well to virtual consulting,

assessment, training, and support unparalleled by more complicated, expensive, and

"guru dependent" delivery systems. Founded by Stennes in 1976, Resources Unlimited

provides training assessments, customized training and facilitation services, and

certification programs for businesses, corporations, and governments. Learn more at
