- About
Our mission has always been to use our expertise in human behavior to help CEOs, boards, and investors build valuable companies. We work with those who share our belief that leadership is the ultimate lever for positive change and value creation.
When Geoff Smart founded ghSMART in 1995, he set out to create the premier firm in the emerging field of leadership assessment. While leadership assessment remains core to our work, we have evolved into a full-service leadership advisory firm. We are honored to serve our clients across a broad range of their most critical leadership challenges.
ghSMART is 100% employee-owned. Our freedom and objectivity are not restricted by any corporation, outside investor, or public market shareholder. As a matter of principle, we do not provide executive search services to ensure we remain free of conflict of interest with our clients.
Our independence goes hand-in-hand with our entrepreneurial culture, which values proactivity and ability over bureaucracy and tenure. And all of our decisions and actions are guided by our firm Credo and Values.
