What is...

DNA-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP?

DNA-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP?

Over 30 years as a management consultant and entrepreneur, Rick Newton discovered that one of the biggest keys to success for individuals and organizations is understanding their design. Whether it’s individuals, small businesses, or large corporations they all must first understand WHO they are before they can determine why they exist or what they are going to accomplish.

What differentiates us is the central focus on DNA. We believe every individual and organization is designed with distinctive characteristics to serve the world in a unique way, and we want to help people uncover, embrace, and stay true to that design.

Our tools are focused on how you can use design as the starting point for aligning & elevating your team.

The MPACT Assessment helps you collaborate better with others by identifying how you are uniquely designed to elevate your team. MPACT measures a person’s unique expression across five quotients that are essential to team success.

MPACT exists because we believe everyone deserves to be part of a flourishing team that’s making an impact. MPACT helps leaders create a culture where everyone’s team contribution is understood, respected, and received so you can work better together to achieve your common goals.

What Our Clients Are Saying

The compass is an incredible tool that now hangs in my office. I always refer back to it when having to make difficult decisions.

The 2-day workshop was the first we incorporated the concept of DNA into our annual planning. As a result, we now have greater clarity about why we exist and how to best serve our customer.
