Aneil was hired to help guide, teach, and mentor the COO leadership group during a time of significant change and upheaval throughout the D.C. Bar. As most know, change is always difficult; if not managed correctly, it can and will lead to disaster for any organization. His job was even more challenging as the COO leadership group was not operating as a single,cohesive, trusting unit. Through his effort (frequent onsite meetings, one-on-ones, materials, etc.) the COO leadership group evolved into a true team—cohesive, collaborative, communicative, loyal, open, and respectful. These attributes, sorely lacking prior to Aneil’s mentorship, are both what build trust and also derive from trust. Trust being a cornerstone of his philosophy. This cultural shift and trust building didn’t happen overnight, but regardless the team is now on the frontlines, standing side-by-side, successfully leading and advocating the change effort being undertaken by the company. As for Aneil himself, he is incredibly affable, dedicated, outgoing, funny, charismatic, empathetic, and, most importantly, he’s an expert at what he does. I’d be remiss if I didn’t also mention how thoroughly impressed I was with how he took a personal stake in the success of the team and the company as a whole. You could tell he genuinely wanted the company to succeed even past his contractual engagement. In short, hire him. You won’t regret it.

“I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Aneil in Denver. The topic focused on the role of trust in the success of an enterprise. He effectively shared the competing values framework and how impacts the dynamic nature of business with leaders, teams and individuals. Aneil has amazing flexibility to move with the audience and share cool data. He does not flinch when delivering hot and controversial insights. All morning he was able to command our attention and manage group process during the presentation. Kudos to Aneil!”
