Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) January 17, 2017 -- After 36 years at the helm of the national business psychology firm, Robert Mines, Ph.D., founder of MINES & Associates (MINES), has moved into a Chairman role with the incoming leadership team as part of a succession plan that has been in the works for over 3 years. “As a psychology firm and a consultant to organizations across the United States regarding organizational design, on top of employee psychology more broadly, we thought it best that we ‘eat our own bread’ so to speak. So we have been planning this transition and working on this transition for a number of years now to prepare the firm and these new leaders to be able to hit the ground running and continue the success of this firm” said Mines.
The new leadership team took their new roles on January 1st of this year following the departure of longtime business partner/employee Dr. Richard Lindsey, who has retired.
As a part of the transition, MINES used a combination of assessments, coaching, strategy-setting sessions, and significant mentoring to help foster the change. While the team is new to the executive leadership team at MINES, the three new executives have a combined 29 years of experience at MINES in various roles. “I’ve been very fortunate these past 9 years to have worked for a company that practices the very ideals that we espouse with our client companies and in the way that we provide our services by fostering professional growth and empowering our employees to excel. It’s a cultural value that our leadership team intends to continue going forward” said incoming CEO Dr. Daniél Kimlinger.
