No industry has faced challenges comparable to those recently confronted by financial services institutions. The global economic crisis, the intensity of the competitive environment, the shifting security and regulatory challenges are only a subset of what confront our clients. In the face of this complexity the best companies recognize the value of strong leadership, the need for the right structure, and the importance of having an effective leadership team that can make the difficult decisions necessary to manage through such uncertainty. Through these challenges STS has closely partnered with some of the largest financial services companies in the world who serve the most complex and sophisticated clients, some of those companies most affected by the housing and real estate meltdown, and smaller firms serving individuals and families on main street.

I’ve engaged STS on many occasions over the past decade to work with some of our most senior and successful executives as they sought the insights, skills and behavioral changes to take their leadership and the performance of their business units to the next level.   What differentiates the STS approach to enhancing senior leader effectiveness is their ability to leverage deep expertise in leadership and behavioral change in service of changes in their client’s business.  They do this so well because they are business-minded first, they get what makes our company tick and what it takes for our leaders to succeed and for our business to compete, and that gives them the credibility and influence to shift our leaders thinking and their actions.  While at Motorola and again at Bank of America, STS has been my most trusted partner in enhancing senior leader effectiveness."
