We believe leadership isn’t a title—it’s a practiced skill grounded in behavior, not trends. In a world disrupted by AI, burnout, and fractured teams, the TIGERS 6 Principles™ offer a measurable framework to build collaborative, high-trust workplaces. Our training, tools, and diagnostics turn culture into a strategic advantage—equipping leaders and teams to perform with purpose, connection, and clarity.
Trusted by Organizations building cultures where trust drives performance and people stay
TIGERS 6 Principles™ Founder and System Architect
At TIGERS®, we equip organizations, trainers, and facilitators to build high-trust, collaborative workplaces — using a proven, research-backed framework that turns good intentions into measurable results.
Rooted in six behavior-based principles — Trust, Interdependence, Genuineness, Empathy, Risk Resolution, and Success — the TIGERS® system gives leaders and teams practical ways to break down silos, strengthen accountability, and create cultures where people stay, grow, and thrive.
For over 30 years, organizations of all sizes have used TIGERS® programs to boost trust, collaboration, and performance. Today, we license consultants, trainers, and educators to deliver our methods, expand their impact, and help their clients transform how people work together.
Our role is simple: we’re the architects of the system that makes high-trust leadership practical, scalable, and sustainable.
If you’re ready to lead with trust — or empower others to do the same — you’re in the right place.
Behavioral tools to measure trust, interdependence, genuineness, empathy, risk resolution, and success — pinpointing strengths and gaps so teams improve, leaders guide better, and people see change as safe and purposeful.
Proven tools — like the TIGERS Team Wheel — used inside our trainings and guided facilitation to help leaders build behavior norms, solve problems faster, and align teams from day one.
At TIGERS®, we turn trust and collaboration into real, measurable performance. The TIGERS 6 Principles make your goals, roles, and relationships high functioning. Because every team is different, our proven methods help leaders and facilitators shape behavior norms and decisions that fit their unique mission, vision, and values.
The TIGERS 6 Principles reveal which behaviors help teams thrive — and which missing behaviors hold them back. By making this visible, leaders and teams build cultures where the TIGERS 6 Principles turn trust, clear norms, and shared purpose into accountability and shared ownership of results.

Flexible, behavior-based training built on the TIGERS® Principles, designed to help leaders and teams tackle real challenges — from trust gaps and accountability to planning and facilitation.

Proven, Practical, Measurable
For over 25 years, TIGERS® has helped organizations build cultures shaped by clear, healthy team behaviors that stop gossip, confusion, and disengagement before they take root — so teams stay engaged, work better together, experience more success and fulfillment, and deliver measurable results.
While most leadership training stops at generic “soft skills,” TIGERS delivers clear, measurable behaviors built on six proven principles — trust, Interdependence , risk resolution, and more — that transform how teams work together.
No need to scrap your best programs — TIGERS methods fit naturally with your existing resources, soft-skills training, and team tools, amplifying results without starting from scratch.
For high-trust, multi-year culture change, our founder works directly with senior leadership teams — but only when the scope and commitment will deliver real transformation.
Unlike one-and-done workshops, we license and certify your trainers, consultants, and educators to deliver TIGERS programs themselves — creating in-house capability and clear, measurable progress that sticks.
More than two decades of practical success, trusted by forward-thinking organizations ready to build cultures where people stay, perform, and grow.

We accomplished all of our training goals! It was a very positive experience. We were able to establish ourselves as active in the community and were able to raise nearly $500 for Children’s Hospital. Thanks again from all of us at East Wenatchee Costco. You have been a joy and a help to us that we will not soon forget.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all leadership development. At TIGERS®, we guide organizations through a flexible, structured process rooted in measurable behavior — not management trends. Every step is designed to improve performance, build trust, and strengthen collaboration without overwhelming your people.
Our approach protects manager bandwidth, earns employee trust, and accelerates meaningful culture change — because it blends the science of psychology, the strategy of business, and the heart of education.
We begin with a focused conversation to understand your goals, team dynamics, and leadership challenges. This allows us to align your needs with the TIGERS® 6 Principles and define the clearest path forward.
Using diagnostic tools grounded in behavioral psychology and group dynamics, we assess the quality of trust, interdependence, empathy, risk resolution, and more, revealing both strengths and opportunities for meaningful, measurable growth.
Based on what we uncover together, we co-create a practical leadership roadmap tailored to your mission, vision, and values. Every milestone is achievable, trackable, and designed to increase clarity, alignment, and shared accountability across teams.
Whether self-paced or instructor-led, our training equips leaders and employees with the skills to plan effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and own outcomes — using behavior-based group norms that increase efficiency and trust. Our structure also gives managers a break from carrying every conversation alone — because the process itself does some of the heavy lifting.
We help you engage trusted employees as change champions — with clear expectations and support — to build momentum from the inside out. Managers lead more effectively when their teams are informed, aligned, and supportive of the direction. This bottom-up involvement reduces resistance, deepens buy-in, and ensures change moves forward with less friction. You’re not losing control--you’re gaining efficiency.
We don’t just teach the tools — we support the rollout. From leadership coaching to implementation feedback and KPI alignment, we stay engaged as you track progress, refine systems, and scale what’s working. Culture change doesn’t stall — it becomes sustainable.
Whether you're leading change, launching new teams, or improving what’s already in motion, our structured, behavior-based process makes it easier for managers and more meaningful for employees.
Let’s talk about how TIGERS® and the TIGERS 6 Principles ™ can help you lead more effectively — with less friction and more follow-through.
They are six measurable group behavior dynamics that build strong teams and leadership cultures: Trust, Interdependence, Genuineness, Empathy, Risk Resolution, and Success. These aren’t random—they emerged from interdisciplinary research in business, education, and psychology to define the behaviors that make work relationships thrive. Together, they form a practical, behavior-based foundation for improving collaboration, accountability, and long-term retention.
👉 Learn how TIGERS works
Most programs focus on vague soft skills or one-off events. TIGERS gives you a research-backed framework with clear behavioral benchmarks—plus the sustained support to make change sustainable. Many of our trainings remain open to learners for up to a year, so your team can revisit tools when real challenges arise.
👉 Explore our courses
Because we rely on what works. Our methods are grounded in the science of group dynamics and designed for real application—in conversations, in teams, and in everyday leadership.
We also build in follow-through. For example, courses like Mastering High-Trust Leadership and Transformational Feedback remain available for up to 12 months, so leaders can revisit them as new challenges emerge. That continuity supports stronger relationships, reduced turnover, and a leadership style that resonates with Gen Z and Millennials.
👉 See how leaders benefit
Yes. That’s exactly what it’s designed for. We help teams identify what’s missing and rebuild group norms that create safety, accountability, and shared ownership of results.
👉 Assess your team’s trust
Absolutely. Employees stay when they feel respected, heard, and part of a team that truly works. TIGERS helps turn values into visible, trustworthy actions—especially in workplaces where past “culture initiatives” felt performative or fell flat.
When employees have seen empty promises before, trust can erode. That’s why we focus on real, measurable change—so your people experience the difference, not just hear about it.
Easier. Our tools reduce friction by engaging employees as partners in performance and change—so managers aren’t carrying everything alone.
TIGERS scales to fit your team. Whether you have 12 employees or 1,200, the same principles apply.
Yes. TIGERS doesn’t replace your favorite tools — it strengthens them. Whether you use DISC, Clifton Strengths, MBTI, or other assessments, the TIGERS 6 Principles bring the group dynamic lens that ties individual insights together. This makes team planning, conflict resolution, and collaboration more effective and sustainable.
Build on What Works. TIGERS isn’t a one-size-fits-all replacement—it’s a behavior-based foundation that strengthens what you already do well. Whether you're using internal leadership programs, external facilitators, or popular tools like DISC or CliftonStrengths, TIGERS integrates easily to bring group norms, decision-making, and trust-building into sharper focus.
Our framework:
You don’t have to start over. You just make what’s already working—work better and last longer.

Stronger engagement, lower turnover, faster team ramp-up, improved trust scores, and a culture people want to be part of. For some, it even cuts operational costs.
In some teams, shifts happen in weeks. Deeper cultural transformation takes sustained effort—but our tools are designed to make change both visible and lasting. For one post-merger team, a three-year obligation was concluded in 18 months.
