Jennifer Selby Long

After 10 years in organizational development and learning & development, Jennifer Selby Long started Selby Group to help leaders, teams, and companies thrive in a fast- changing world. Though it wasn’t broadly accepted at the time, she could see that the long-worshiped approach of performance-driven leadership was beginning to crack. It simply didn’t mesh with changes in the culture and the shift to a global workforce. Ironically, it didn’t elicit the best performance, either.

This inspired a deep, ongoing study of how leaders can do both: get great results and build a dynamic, resilient, emotionally mature, inclusive and lasting organization. And it’s more relevant today than ever, as multiple crises and changes unsettle lives and businesses everywhere, and the remnants of old control-based leadership behaviors quickly fall apart in a world of remote and hybrid work.
