"I give Richard Lee high marks as an executive
coach. He takes a complex set of input and distills
it into a few key points in a powerful and useful way.
Richard helped me be more effective." Mark Thompson,
Vice President & General Manager, Raychem (Now
CEO at Fairchild)
"Richard demonstrated the unique ability to establish
instant credibility by engaging members of our senior
management in their language, at their level. His energy,
enthusiasm and insight into techniques for building
strong teams quickly led us to identifying the common
challenges that faced our cross functional organization.
Better still, he left us with a plan and clear deliverables
to address these challenges." Brian Dexheimer,
Senior Vice President, Seagate Technologies
"Richard has a remarkable talent for getting
executives to confront the heart of the matter and
I'd recommend him to any 'Fast Company' without reservation.
I've learned more from him about management than any
other executive I've ever worked with. Richard's help
was outstanding, authoritative, and well conceived.
I heartily recommend him to other executives involved
in maximizing the power of the team." Robin Johnson, CEO Infoseek (now COO for US operations of The
Financial Times)
"Richard Lee did an outstanding job helping Raychem
organize and conduct a large leadership conference.
He combines a warm, friendly style with sharp insights
to help working groups make rapid progress." Richard Kashnow,
then CEO of Raychem
"Richard Lee approached his engagement at Nuance
with a unique combination of sensitivity, insight and
experience. He was a key participant in helping us
achieve the hardest things a company has to do - redirect
strategy, resize the workforce and mature management
team practices and capabilities. Perhaps most importantly,
he developed the trust and confidence of everyone on
the senior management team, which permitted meaningful
change to occur rapidly, yet in a healthy and constructive
manner". Ron Croen,
then CEO, Nuance Communications
