My point of view

In our specialized and interdependent world, self-reliance and individual expertise is not enough.  I'm Tom Hardison, and I believe evolving and expanding collective leadership generates the capacity we need to create new possibilities and achieve meaningful outcomes amidst today's constant change and increasing complexity.

I partner with executives and their teams committed to achieving meaningful outcomes to learn, grow and create new possibilities. I work with leaders and teams in many industries, and I might be a good partner for you. 

I've learned from a wide range of experiences, and many guides and teachers who've assisted me along the way. I led change initiatives at Hewlett Packard for more than 28 years. I grew up farming lemons and avocados on my grandparents ranch. I've traveled, lived and worked in many countries, and raised 4 sons in Boise with my wife.
