“The missing 98% is execution.”
– Tom Peters
Great strategies don’t get results. Great execution does.
Today’s leaders are challenged more than ever by complex reporting relationships, scant resources, remote teams, and the modern “free agent” mentality. Getting the best possible results in these environments requires a new level of leadership expertise and a deliberate coordination of effort. Leaders at all levels must execute.
Preston Leadership teaches execution. Founded in 2004, we are a well-established team of certified coaches, consultants, organizational development and HR professionals who mastered these challenges and more as operational executives at H-P, eBay, Boeing, Marriott, Kodak, Sprint, EDS and many other world-class organizations.
Whether it’s Individual Coaching for development, Coordinated Coaching, where corporate objectives are integrated into large-scale executive development programs, or Just Enough HR™, our specialized HR services for small business, Preston Leadership brings together world-class experience and expertise in a flexible service model – without the FTE’s and overhead.

We truly turn strategies into reality.
