I’ve known Ed since the earliest days of his career. From the very beginning he has personified the moral compass and unwavering ethics that are emblematic of his career and his leadership. He works to earn the loyalty of his teams, he leads by example and builds successful organizations.

​

He is a uniquely powerful mentor. He sees his success based on the individual successes of every member of his team. Generous with guidance, accountable to his team and unshakable in his commitment to doing the right thing, Ed inspires outstanding performance through consistent, inspirational  leadership.

Ed is one of the great examples of a very authentic and natural leader who cares about the culture organizations, firms and leaders create while investing in people and helping them find their own place as a leader.

Leadership is not just through words or books but real actions - a movement.  Ed has never been scared to take actions, listen and support his friends, colleagues and family in every area and aspect they may need a direction.  He is a talented storyteller, loves sharing anecdotes and pulls people in through his incredible enthusiasm, energy and genuine care and safety.

I truly believe whatever he sets his mind on he will succeed gracefully, and he will take people along on his journey. Success for him is never enough when it's just for Ed Clementi, but it's for his followers, colleagues and friends where he shares his wealth through his ever growing research, knowledge and ideas as well as empathy and courage.

At a time when there is crisis of leadership, lower levels of trust as well as diminishing humanity in the world, his new way forward will provide a fresh view of courageous leadership guided by a moral compass where we need to change our ways.

What makes Ed so effective as a leader in the 17 years I have known him, is his genuine/authentic care for people and his ability to simplify any complex problem [and connect the dots] in a way that made you wonder how no one else did think of that solution.  

Ed is the real deal. I had the good fortune to witness his impact in both, his capacity as a leadership thought leader and problem solver as well as in his executive career.  While Ed's passion for people and their untapped leadership potential runs deep and is infectious, his leadership principles and methods are backed up by an executive track record of creating powerful and tangible results.

I have witnessed first-hand Ed's ability to navigate firms through the most complex and thorny issues and solving the seemingly unsolvable, precisely by masterfully soliciting and harnessing the power of not only his own teams but that of the broader organization.

I’ve witnessed Ed be a guiding force and inspiration to those around him as early as high school where he rallied teammates to play with heart and encouraged friends to stay committed to their schoolwork. As a father, he’s instilled values of integrity, resilience and kindness guiding them to be remarkable individuals. Professionally, Ed has impacted countless lives both inside and outside his organization by helping to shape careers and guiding people to reach their full potential.
