About GSSI
Our Mission
Help leaders succeed by providing actionable information and customized information to improve the performance of people, teams, and organizations.
Be a Value-Added Partner of Choice
Our vision is to be a value-added partner who gets results, inspires growth, and fosters excellence. We have two measures of success: the success of our clients and associates and living our core guiding principles daily. We are successful when our clients and associates recognize us as a “partner-of-choice.” We will model a servant’s heart, a scholar’s intellect, a leader’s discipline, a mentor’s encouragement, and a winner’s focus. Our clients grow professionally and personally because we provide a competitive advantage in planning, training, coaching, and management support. We strive for realistic, sustainable growth for our company and for our clients.
Our Values
Pursue Excellence
Our customers deserve and expect quality analysis and advice. We pay attention to details while seeing the “big picture.” We continue to learn and to share our knowledge and insights with others. We associate and work with other professional service providers who share our standards of excellence. We are a learning organization.
Be Forthright
Our ethical behavior is not a “sometimes thing.” Regardless of the circumstance, we treat the customer with honesty and commitment. We are quick to praise and to share good news. However, we do not shrink from giving unpopular and dissenting opinions, when necessary.
Be Thankful
We consider our profession to be a “calling” and accept its challenges and rewards with humility and graciousness. We appreciate the support of fellow associates and never forget the source of our blessings.
Be Persistent
Quick solutions are fine when they are the right solution. We diligently and persistently pursue the “right” solution, even when it is difficult. We face the tough challenges of business with optimism. We deal with difficult decisions and manage today with a focus on our future.
Our Approach
Every organization strives to deliver something of value, whether it is a product or a service. To succeed, the organization needs the professional performance of its people. Excellent performance drives excellent results, and results and people are the concern of every leader.
At Grace Strategic Services we focus on helping leaders improve the performance of their people, teams, and organizations so that they all win. We help leaders clarify strategies, align their systems, grow their leaders, and engage their employees in meaningful work.
We have a proven track record of helping for-profit and not-for-profit organizations attain their goals and build enduring success. We provide a broad scope of human capital assessments, management and employee surveys, training and coaching interventions, and strategic management facilitations and interventions.
We think that there are Seven Rights to Success: getting the right person doing the right thing with the right stuff at the right time and in the right place in order to deliver the right outcomes, all while leaders provide the right leadership methods and styles. This is a simple formula that requires diligent execution. And, at GSSI we are committed to helping leaders and their team get this right every time.
