Organizational & Leadership Development · Wichita, Kansas
Effective leadership is not accidental.
It is the product of sound thinking, accurate decisions, and disciplined execution, and all three can be taught, measured, and improved.
GrassFire Industries LLC is a Wichita, Kansas-based organizational and leadership development consultancy. Led by Dr. David M. Robertson, MSL, VL2, creator of the Reasoned Leadership framework, GrassFire delivers customized programs in leadership development, organizational consulting, personal development, and health education. LEIP, StratEdge Solutions, Future Pathway, and OptiHealth Insights are each grounded in the same mechanistic framework, not trend-based models, not platitudes, and not one-size-fits-all curricula.
