Wally’s own blueprint for success involves helping leaders harness the power of influence in order to dissolve their organizational problems. The interesting thing is that Wally says organizational problems often appear, on the surface, to be “people problems”, when in fact, the real problems actually stem from an organization’s underlying broken internal systems.

From his research and experience, Wally has developed The Values and Systems Problem Solving Model, which he uses to teach leaders how to uncover the real underlying cause of organizational problems. According to Wally, part of this “problem solving process” includes teaching leaders how to use their powers of influence to turn conflict into profit.

Wally came to understand what he teaches today as a result of twelve years of frustration in working for a Fortune 500 company, where he feels he was taught to actually de-motivate the people he managed. Wally knew his instincts were right; conventional management methods were flawed.Subsequently his research proved to him that broken systems wreck havoc on people’s behavior, and that management by control breeds negativity.So today, as the creator of leadership training that focuses on the positive power of using influence rather than control to address problems, Wally helps managers, leaders and their employees solve the real problems.When companies work with Wally they experience a reduction in “drama” and an increase in trust, loyalty and learning, which results in a healthier and more prosperous organization.

Wally has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania; an MBA in Finance from Iona College; and a PhD in Organizational Leadership and Business Administration from Warren National University. His book Blueprint for Success provides ideas that can help leaders unlock their potential, remove metal blocks to success, and provide new insights to accelerate positive change. Wally’s chapter, The Power of Influence: 7 Secrets for Successful Leadership, provides leaders with insights to create an environment of trust, continuous learning, and employee loyalty. Wally has worked with dozens of firms and government agencies in the last decade.
