What We Believe…

Consultants are constantly trying to define leadership, unleash the four key steps, and provide special insight into leadership greatness. At Blue Rudder, we don't bother. If someone is following you, you are a leader. As for how to lead -- there are really just two things we tell people: Leadership is intentional, and it's not about you. -- Doug Crandall

Why Blue Rudder?

Doug Crandall (West Point grad, Stanford MBA) and Matt Kincaid (Gonzaga PhD) have formed a world-class leader development consultancy focused on southeastern Washington. Blue Rudder provides custom-designed programs for your entire organization, a Leadership Fellows course for high potentials, keynote seminars, and a compelling speaker series.
