CrossLead is an advisory services and training company that enables complex organizations to operate with the speed and adaptability of a small team. Drawing from shared experiences transforming the US counter-terrorism effort from a siloed, hierarchical apparatus into a high-performing network, we developed CrossLead to scale the adaptability of small teams to the enterprise level. It removes silos, eliminates dysfunctional practices, and dramatically increases the pace at which organizations can operate and succeed in complex environments.
