TESTIMONIALS

“As we continue to have explosive growth within in NetApp, one of our critical initiatives is leadership development and ensuring that our leaders are prepared to scale as we achieve our business objectives. One of the tools that we have embedded in our leadership development system is the Zenger/Folkman's 360 degree tool, Extraordinary Leader. As we have launched this program, we have partnered with a best-in-class firm, Focused Solutions Group.  Rita Graziano, our SR. Account Executive has been outstanding in partnering with my team and the business clients from operational support to strategic coaching. This partnership has been excellent and been a critical success factor in our journey to build leadership talent.”
