Jason Barger and his team works with organizations who are passionate about developing their people, culture, service and clarity of mission, vision and values for the future.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING WITH A FOCUS ON ENGAGEMENT & CULTURE
The most effective leaders, teams and organizations in the world Step Back to move forward. We live and work in times where only 23% of employees say they trust their leadership and future direction of their organization and only 20% feel connected to their organizational culture, yet 90% say that is exactly what they want (Gallup). The best leaders, teams and organizations realize they must have an intentional strategy for developing leaders, culture and clarity of mission, vision and values. Employees who feel valued buy in to the core values of the organization and have a clear vision for WHY, WHERE and HOW they are going to travel into the future.
In a world that is more busy than effective, the best leaders understand that growing and developing an organization takes intentional focus and action. They are committed to engaging the minds and hearts of their people. Step Back Leadership Consulting is passionate about this work.
A trait of the most successful leaders, teams and organizations are the ones who engage the minds and hearts of their members. They proactively create experiences for their people to grow, learn, develop and operate out of their core strengths.
Teams and organizations that focus and develop the strengths and leadership of their members remove disengagement almost entirely: from 22 out of 100 disengaged members on average, to an average of 1 out of 100 members (Gallup Organization, Strengths Assessment, 2010).
Culture is defined by the way we think, act and interact. It’s dynamic, and it’s always changing. Step Back Leadership Consulting implements the 6 A Process For Leading Organizational Change to help teams set the temperature they want for their culture.
Why? Because the most successful teams and organizations on the planet are conscious about articulating their mission. They bring clarity to their core values and develop clear language to describe the leadership attributes their organization needs to be successful. They create experiences for their members to learn, practice and develop the actions necessary to bring their core values to life. They focus relentlessly on how their people interact. They understand that culture is created one person and one action at a time.
True culture change occurs for an individual, team, or organization because of focus and disciplined action.
Most change initiatives fail because we are moving too quickly, aren’t able to give our full attention to the areas in need, aren’t clear about the vision for how we want things to be different, and/or not able to stay disciplined enough over time to see the change through. Step Back to move forward. Leadership training through development and culture-shaping is not a “drive thru” experience. It takes a commitment to a continuous process of development, vision, communication, engagement, authenticity, and action. Change happens one small action at a time. Step Back Leadership Consulting LLC designs processes for individuals, teams, and organizations that fit their unique needs and objectives. Processes are congruent with years of research, study, and guiding principles.
CALIBRATE YOUR THERMOSTAT WITH JASON AND TEAM

Culture is not a side priority on high-performing teams. It is EVERYTHING. Jason Barger is right on in his approach to people, alignment and values. His spirit and work is infectious and highly-valuable. Thermostat Cultures is a must read.
Jason’s speech for CASTO was very thoughtful. He tailored his thoughts specifically for our group and truly kept the entire audience engaged!
Jason came to Quito, Ecuador to give a speech to some of the most influential business owners of the city. His presentation skills, his way of engaging the audience, and his sense of humor make Jason a great speaker whom I would love to see again in any venue anywhere in the world!
Creating cultures of inclusivity, grit, and ownership that lift people up and make us all better is needed. Our job as leaders is to breathe good oxygen into ourselves and everyone around us. Jason’s message and work are contagious in the good ways!
I had the great pleasure of partnering with Jason Barger and Step Back Leadership Consulting for three years while I was a Vice President of Human Resources in a culture of hyper growth and a focus on change management. Jason created and facilitated customized leadership development programs for high potential executives and senior leaders and for entry level leaders across all functional areas of our Retail Marketing and Credit Business. Jason is an exceptional public keynote speaker that embraces authentic leadership messages and creates tools that leaders of all levels can use to build on strengths and work through opportunities. Jason has a unique ability to identify how to focus on leadership competencies and values of the company while creating lasting learning. Jason’s high level of integrity shows through in all of his engagements from brainstorming, to program development, to facilitating and measuring success. I highly recommend Jason for any large or small group leadership training, keynote speaking, and cultural change development. Jason is a true game changer.
Jason Barger was the best instructor I’ve had…his energy is infectious and he has a passion for what he does that is very genuine.
Behaviors such as agility, grit, empathy, and inclusivity have never been more essential and more valued in the workplace. Jason Barger’s six key mindsets highlight the behaviors that propel great leaders and drive great cultures.
Culture and values are the air we breathe. They are things we never stop working on, developing, and sharing with each other. Jason Barger is on target again that leaders and all associates breathe life into winning cultures!
The mindsets we breathe every day as human beings impact the people and leaders we become in our organizations and in the world. To become more inclusive and accountable to one another, breathing good oxygen is critical. Thank you, Jason Barger!
There is a common desire to be part of something larger than ourselves. In a team setting, culture is the glue that brings together like minded individuals, for better or worse. Perennial losing cultures have indifference to communication, accountability, and grit. Strong winning cultures promote these values as the lifeblood of their journey. Jason Barger’s proactive spirit and message is foundational.
