Multidisciplinary Paradigm Based on Science

Dr. Kaufman’s advisory work is grounded in an unusually wide range of professional expertise:  consultant, clinician, and insider with first-hand leadership experience, he is also a pioneering academic researcher.  This sets him apart.

Kaufman’s research establishes a new explanation of what drives leaders and high-achieving professionals to succeed or fail in their careers and lives.  It is based on an NIH-funded half-century study of Harvard College graduates which Kaufman directed for fifteen years at the University of Chicago.

Kaufman’s range allows him to tap multiple disciplines relevant to client problems as well as lessons from a trove of case examples he has seen play out over decades in his research.

He distills complex client problems to a simple, parsimonious model without missing crucial factors or root cause, enabling clients to achieve real solutions rather than muddy results.
