At Herringshaw Group, we understand that your people are your most valuable asset. That's why we specialize in creating tailored succession plans, knowledge transfer systems, and communication frameworks that not only safeguard your organization's legacy but also pave the way for future growth. As a family-run consultancy, we bring a personal touch to every project, ensuring that your team is equipped to thrive in today's dynamic business landscape.
Effective leadership development and succession planning doesn't happen accidentally. Without intentional strategy, organizations can lose a massive amount of value. Departing leaders and employees take with them valuable knowledge, skills, and relationships that you may never get back. Your remaining workforce can feel disengaged, siloed from other departments, and develop leadership gaps that never truly get filled.
"Since hiring Herringshaw Group, we have experienced tremendous organization growth and have been recognized with numerous awards including “Best Place to Work” and consistently achieve above industry average employee retention. We credit Herringshaw Group's consulting as a big reason for our ongoing success."
– Andrew Dahl, President of Dahl Automotive
"I hired Herringshaw Group to help me explore a potential succession plan and decide whether I would want to step in to leadership/ownership of my current company. They helped me through the logistics, but also opened my eyes to some other opportunities... My income has grown, my stress levels have also been reduced, and I love having a trusted advisor I can call to bounce ideas off of."
– Forrest Exley, JJP Mechanical Reps
"I’ve done Executive coaching with Mark for nearly two years. During that period, he has been a coach, mentor and friend to me on my professional journey... Mark is very insightful and thought-provoking in the way he goes about helping guide you to understanding your strengths and improvement opportunities. I don’t know if I would be where I’m at in my career today without Mark’s encouragement and guidance."
– Andrew Ryks, General Manager, Duininck Texas
"Working with the Herringhaw Group has been transformative. It's a requirement for my leaders to invest in themselves, and having a guide and mentor like Mark is invaluable. We all have our perceptions based on our experiences, but sometimes those can be faulty or broken. Having someone who is genuinely for us, equipped with the right tools and experience, is essential. It's been a dynamic opportunity to work with him, and the impact on my team and me has been profound. I would say to anyone considering the Herringhaw Group: You can't afford not to do it."
–Beth Maddox, Regional Agency Director
