Dear Mr. Williams
With the letter we want to express our appreciation for your contribution to the successful cultural transformation of the ABB Kinleith maintenance organisation. The initiatives you not only designed but also successfully executed can be considered milestones in the organisatonal development.
The "Forest Camps" you facilitated both internally and with the client of ABB Kinleith, CHH Kinleith, were instrumental in creating a culture for mutual respect and cooperation.
The "Pathfinders" team you initiated and coached for a long period is still today for ABB Kinleith an important element of our ongoing development. The "Leadership" courses you ran for both "Future Leaders" programmes were remarkable in the understanding of leadership issues it generated for its participants.
I can summarise in saying that without your personal contribution to the ABB Kinleith organisation development programme we would not be where we are today.
With regards
Juergen Link

"On the conclusion of the Leader/Management training programme I would like to thank you and your team for assisting in making a real success. Our organisation has been through a huge change of culture affecting everyone, but especially our leaders and managers at the middle level. I believe that this course has supported and promoted that change. Our association with you over the last three years has been a fruitful one!”

"Please accept my thanks for leading the three day courses for my managers. I feel that the courses achieved what I wanted; to bring a new team of managers together, to develop communication and planning skills and to encourage a reassessment of personal managerial style. I appreciated the way you adapted the courses to suit the type and needs of the group. After all every group is different and an “off the shelf” solution would not have been appropriate.”

"The course was an unqualified success! The initial feedback confirms my own observations during the course of the weekend, which was that significant progress was made both in building the team and in understanding the qualities of a good leader. You ensured the course was successful by making it challenging and interesting. The specific managers feedback you gave on which of the three circles they may be neglecting was very useful, and as a result I believe we have a better chance of developing leaders in our division.”
