About KCB

King Chapman & Broussard, Inc. specializes in assisting business leaders achieve surprising performance in their organizations. These results come through altering the context of work, so that people are engaged, collaborating, and developing leaders at all levels of the organization. Leaders inspire others to achieve extraordinary results. People who are collaborating will produce results far beyond what is anticipated and thought to be possible.

At KCB we believe people are among the least effectively used resource in business. We think this is due in part to over reliance on the “Command and Control” approach. There are too many who are attempting to tell others what to do and too few who are leading others to accomplish results. We appreciate that the “Command and Control” comes from Frederick Taylor’s legacy and management thought which assumes that people are lazy, un-trustable and in need of control. For over 25 years we have seen this proven wrong.

People are the key to success of a business, not the limiting factor when there are leaders who are willing to lead. We find the biggest challenges facing businesses to be managers who are expected to provide leadership and yet are unable or unwilling to do so. We find the best way to teach leadership is through doing. Learning best occurs when leading a project or team. Leaders do not develop by hiding behind their desk. Rather leaders learn by doing and being out with customers and their people. Leadership requires courage, learning, listening and resilience. Leaders come to see the importance of creating value in the business rather than the illusions of quick fix.

KCB collaborates with business leaders who want to learn and achieve a transformation in their business. This is a transformation (a state change) in both the level of results and what it means to be at work.  This collaboration in learning to achieve transformation occurs through:

• Clarifying results needed for value creation and transformation
• Clarifying actions to achieve results and that will support implementation of business strategy
• Consulting with executives, managers, management teams, and breakthrough project teams on transformation and achieving the results
• Education in breakthrough projects, collaboration, engaging others and leadership
• Coaching in implementing projects and leadership
• Communication training so that others hear the core message, find the message credible and initiate action
