The Leaders We’ve Found

“The Bryan Group staff is highly skilled in executing the search process, to include building an effective working relationship with search committees and boards. They are very adept at successfully navigating the political challenges that often accompany the search process. This is why we use them to conduct all our superintendent searches.”

“Bill led an empirical competency research process that resulted in highly refined competency-based position descriptions for district-level special education administrators and case managers. The descriptions for both positions contained competency models that could be utilized for recruiting, hiring, orientation, training, professional development, and succession planning. In addition, the New Hampshire Association of Special Education Administrators’ (NHASEA) Board, hired Bill to conduct a search for a new director upon my departure. This was very successful in identifying a new director that has been very successful.”

“Bill helped us significantly improve student performance through many different organizational capacity building processes, to include values, vision, mission, and guiding principle development; strategic planning; process improvement; continuous improvement; policy analysis and development; and a community-based position description development process used to create over 30 position descriptions in the district, which turned out to be a great community relationship builder. He also provided us with competency-based hiring training, to include the use of the Guided Storytelling Interview methodology which we now employ with the hire of every leader, as well as teachers. He is the ultimate partner for any district or school redesign process. Change leadership is his forte.”

“I was always impressed with Bill’s ability to be inclusive of all interested parties, to include students, when presenting new organization capacity building processes and tools, to include those involving project management, team charter development, building high-performing teams, process improvement, and continuous improvement. His approach to fostering community engagement in the district decision-making process was impressive. And with all the new tools and methodologies implemented, it was always done in a manner that fostered the transferability of skills to the district.”
