Michael Sands, the owner and founder of CPM, has over 25 years of experience in leadership, organization development, project management, quality management, team development, and training. He maintains a focus on work processes and seeks opportunities for improvement. While in the military, Sands served in a variety of positions of increasing leadership responsibility. He witnessed a variety of leadership styles and was greatly influenced by these experiences. Sands has led leader development efforts as a part of a consulting team. He is an adjunct faculty member of the Georgetown Leadership Coaching Program. Sands was also tasked on multiple occasions to lead projects and programs while in the military. He learned several lessons on how to manage projects effectively, but this was not always the case. Through his mistakes while managing projects, he also learned what not do regarding managing projects. Mr. Sands further discovered that most projects affect how people carry out their work and naturally breeds resistances. Organizational transformation requires a change management intervention. He witnessed that people tend to resist most any change that affected them. Since we live in a world of massive change, Sands is committed to supporting organizations wanting to transform who understand that change must be carefully planned and executed.
