Wade Younger

Wade Younger, CSP recognized as one of the foremost authorities on organizational development, has made organizational wellness his life’s work. He has been writing, teaching, lecturing, and consulting since the early 90’s and is known for his approaches to difficult leadership issues.

Younger founded Fruition Consulting, Inc., in 1990, to focus exclusively on organizational issues. Younger’s vision of a healthy, high performance organization is embodied in the company-within-an organization archetype, where every department, indeed every small group, views itself as an entrepreneurial business. Everyone is clearly focused on producing their products and services, and they view peers as customers and suppliers.

While authoring over 35 books on personal and organizational leadership, Wade consults on building and managing work relationships that encourage peak performance, reduce stress, turnover, and support the achievement of personal and organizational goals.

This experience is put to good use as a corporate speaker in the public and private industry sector. His audiences range from executives to volunteers, from upper management to front line people. His infectious enthusiasm, big smile, and candor are his trademarks. When combined with his education, experience, and relentless preparation, the result is truly a great presentation. Wade is also used these capabilities as an adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, and is a member of the Board of Advisory at Central Piedmont Community College.

He challenges and teaches audiences of over 10,500 individuals to transform potential into peak performance. Customized to address your specific needs, Wade’s workshops and keynotes are packed with powerful ideas and proven techniques that can be used to increase productivity, improve work environments, and achieve your goals.
