\"Transformational<\/p>\n

Effective leaders are essential for an organization to be successful.<\/p>\n

This is one of the core beliefs of Klemmer, a leadership development firm founded by Brian Klemmer in 1995. Over the past three decades, Klemmer has partnered with a number of prominent organizations to develop leaders who drive positive and ethical change.<\/p>\n

Brian Klemmer called such leaders "compassionate samurai." As described in his book of the same name, compassionate samurai combine the best traits of two types of people in the world: those who are kind and compassionate but lack the ability to achieve results, and those who persistently pursue results but are unconcerned about the harm they cause in the process.<\/p>\n

Brian Klemmer founded the Klemmer organization with the dream of creating a world filled with compassionate samurai. Today, through the organization's practical training, the lives of over 45,000 people in over 17 countries have been transformed for the better.<\/p>\n

Klemmer and his colleagues' workshops are designed for people at various stages of their leadership journey. For example, "Personal Mastery" is a two-day in-person event where experienced facilitators help participants develop tools and strategies proven effective in achieving change.<\/p>\n

The foundation of the Personal Mastery program\u2014and all of Klemmer's trainings\u2014is recognizing and overcoming the subconscious belief systems that control our decisions. These belief systems, like "sunglasses," shape our reality and prevent us from living our lives to the fullest. The Personal Mastery program and Klemmer's other trainings help participants remove these "sunglasses," revealing all the ways their belief systems have held them back.<\/p>\n

Klemmer's method differs from didactic seminars, which provide only motivation and instructions. The problem with conveying only motivation and instructions is that motivation quickly fades, and the instructions contain nothing new for participants.<\/p>\n

For example, everyone knows that a combination of healthy eating and exercise helps maintain a healthy weight. But that doesn't mean another guided seminar will help us achieve it. As Brian Klemmer wrote in the title of one of his books: "If only there were enough instructions, we'd all be slim, rich, and happy.".<\/p>\n

The Klemmer Method, by contrast, focuses on creating lasting change. Through personal development, participants achieve breakthroughs that spur transformative shifts in understanding and behavior. In the process, they learn to become bold and empathetic leaders.<\/p>\n

\"Leadership\"<\/p>\n

Organizational transformation<\/h2>\n

The Personal Mastery program focuses on empowering individuals, but Klemmer's training can also transform teams and entire organizations. From industry leaders like GE, Suzuki, and Hewlett-Packard to the US Air Force and the Honolulu Police Department, countless organizations have transformed their corporate cultures by following Klemmer's recommendations.<\/p>\n

Klemmer's private team training is available at a particularly challenging time for organizations, as employee engagement has plummeted following the pandemic. According to a 2025 Gallup poll, only 311,000 employees in the US are actively engaged at work\u2014the same percentage as in 2024 and down from a relatively high 361,000 in 2020. Gen Z and millennial workers reported the greatest decline in engagement between 2020 and 2025. Specifically, Gen Z and younger millennials reported significantly lower feelings of caring about employees, the availability of training and development opportunities, and the feeling that someone encourages their development.<\/p>\n

Other 2022 studies found that 63% employers report that retaining existing employees is more difficult than hiring new ones, and 69% employees said they would work harder if they felt valued.<\/p>\n

Klemmer believes that modern business culture doesn't place enough emphasis on personal development and effective leadership, resulting in the current crisis in employee engagement and retention. Clearly, something isn't working.<\/p>\n

Klemmer effect<\/h2>\n

In his individual team training sessions, Klemmer ensures that every team member, from senior managers to the newest hires, gains the tools and strategies necessary to become highly productive and ethical leaders. Klemmer's experienced coaches work with teams to identify subconscious belief systems that influence the organization's culture and can hinder its development. They then help each team member remove their "glasses" so they can recognize how they contribute to the problem.<\/p>\n

Because every organization is unique, Klemmer prides itself on tailoring its approach to each client. Working with Klemmer facilitators, employees identify the root issues plaguing their teams, determine what's working, what's not, and what needs to be done next. Employees learn to embrace challenges and are empowered to address them in a supportive environment.<\/p>\n

Klemmer's clients report improved communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, which have collectively contributed to increased productivity and significant business growth. For example, Hewlett-Packard reported eliminating five weeks of costly production delays thanks to improved teamwork achieved through Klemmer workshops. Other Klemmer clients include Aetna, which turned to Klemmer for information on how to reduce the number of meetings. By improving communication and collaboration within the organization, Klemmer helped Aetna save $2 million in meeting costs in one year.<\/p>\n
