“The best thing that we have ever done as a leadership team was to follow Mo Fahnestock’s guidance in assessing our stakeholder/consumer’s desires and needs and tuning our service delivery tightly to this new understanding.”

“I believe this training is strengthening our leadership team and is helping us develop our skills individually and as a team. The most valuable part has been aligning our thinking and developing our strategic plan over the next 1,000 days.”

Leadership team member

When you tell an autocratic city fire department that prides itself in being able to say they have “100 years of tradition unimpeded by progress” that they are about to embark on something called Strategic Planning, and that everyone down to the newest member will have input, what you get back is a “deer in the headlights stare. With the training and guidance of Mo Fahnestock we were able to change tradition and create an enthusiastic growing organization where every member is involved in creating their future.”
