Allen Moore, PhD

Allen brings the expertise of having been a business leader in a global environment, as well as coaching and teaching hundreds of leaders through challenges including rapid growth, M&A integration, culture shifts, strategy re-alignment, or value stream and cost reduction initiatives. As a coach, he understands both the functional business context and the interpersonal requirements of leading others to success.

Coaching Philosophy

Being an effective leader–of projects and people–means to deeply understand your values, purpose, and mission, and then communicate that in a way that inspires collective action. One definition says that leadership is the art of mobilizing others to want to struggle for shared aspirations. As a coach, Allen works from an approach of both inside-out and outside-in: helping leaders discover and harness their unique gifts, matching them with the opportunities and resources in the world around them. Allen’s coaching approach incorporates dialogue and co-creation, where both coach and participant contribute to create new possibilities for action. He also believes in a systems approach, considering the interdependencies of the leader, their relationships and the organizational frameworks around them.

Results Achieved

The CEO of a global high-tech firm was transitioning to a board level role, which also involved moving to another country. Allen coached this senior leader through succession planning, business continuity, and the subsequent changes in role and culture. The result was a smooth transition for the leader and for the team responsible for ongoing operations.

A medical doctor who was a renowned opinion leader was asked to step into a C-suite role and lead a large global business unit for medical products. The style of his interpersonal relations and working through others required a significant shift. Allen coached him on self-awareness, purpose, and leadership behaviors, allowing him to make this difficult transition from technical expert to strategic leader more successfully.
