Hi, I'm Ben Sands.
I help PE-backed CEOs grow faster by strengthening leadership, execution, and accountability across the entire organization.
If you are the CEO, or senior executive,
of a mid-market, private-equity owned company who wants to:
Grow fast:
Hit big goals, and do big things.
Grow strong:
Achieve great outcomes in a healthy, sustainable way.
Grow together:
Build a culture where people love to work.
You are in the right place.
Too many PE-backed companies make the same costly mistake:
They rush to replace leaders—
burning time, money, and morale in the process.
But the best companies take a different approach.
They see the potential in their people and invest in unlocking it.
Because with the right support, today’s team can drive tomorrow’s performance.
We help make that happen—by quickly building the 5 "High Growth" Skills
at every level of the organization.
Of course, building such skill, at scale, is easier said than done.
That's where Sands Leadership comes in.
We've developed a smart, scalable approach to
improving operational efficiency that integrates
seamlessly into your business.
It's not some generic, off-the-shelf "training."
It’s not a course, it’s coaching.
No generic jargon.
No funky frameworks.
No cringe-y clichés.
Just an intuitive, scientifically-backed, data-driven program that works.
Transform the way your team works.
But don't just take our word for it...
