Do you have a leadership bottleneck?
-
You spend your day making decisions about every aspect of your business.
-
You promote your top performers to lead teams, but now they're just funneling more problems your way to solve.
-
Miscommunication is leading to missed deadlines, rework, and wasted resources.
-
When they do make decisions, your newly promoted leaders aren't aligned to your vision for the business.
-
Silos are being created in your organization driving inefficiencies.
-
Performance issues in your front ranks are increasing.
I'm Justin Reinert, Founder & Principal of Performance Accelerated Learning.
I have led Talent Development at organizations as large as HSBC and Oracle, yet have had the most fun winning awards for the talent programs and teams I've built at smaller high-growth firms.
I've spent over 20 years developing leaders in companies of all sizes, and I have made the most impact in scaling leadership in small high-growth companies. Leadership development and coaching have been at the core of my work, helping businesses achieve greater clarity and alignment. One of my current startup clients doubled their headcount and leadership team in less than two years, while experiencing greater clarity and alignment among the executive team!
In 2022 I authored my first book titled Creating Belonging: A Practical Guide to Accelerate Belonging in Organizations and Communities, and am a recognized thought leader in talent development demonstrated by articles in every leading Talent Development publication, including a cover story in TD Magazine in January of 2025.
Why leadership development matters
Effective managers matter to retention
Gartner reported that employees with effective managers were 3.2 times more likely to have a high intention to stay. This measures intent, not confirmed retention.
Engagement is linked to profitability
Gallup reported 21% higher profitability for business units in the top engagement quartile compared with those in the bottom quartile. This is an association, not a guaranteed increase from training.
These findings concern other organizations and research populations. They are not measured PAL client results or promises of a particular return.
What we can work toward
Clearer priorities, more deliberate decisions, and better conversations about expectations and responsibility.
We agree on the changes that matter in your situation and how to assess progress. Outcomes depend on your context, participation and what happens between sessions.
