Jim Koetting

Jim Koetting attacks the hidden cost centers that kill productivity from the inside. At CEOM Consulting, he partners with technology, financial, and healthcare companies with more than 100 employees that are tired of bleeding payroll dollars on leadership programs that look impressive and change nothing. He steps into environments where growth has outpaced leadership habits, where teams are busy but output is flat, and where turnover quietly drains momentum. While many organizations keep buying new content and workshops, Jim zeroes in on a tougher reality: performance and retention only move when leaders build habits that actually stick and scale.

His sharpest skill is diagnosing where leadership behavior breaks down between intent and execution. Jim uses focused interviews, pattern spotting, and direct feedback to expose the gap between what leaders say they value and how they actually operate day to day. From there, he installs simple, repeatable leadership habits that drive performance, tighten focus, and keep top talent from walking out the door. His approach does not depend on charisma or flavor‑of‑the‑month models. He builds concrete routines into the workflow so leaders know how to run one‑on‑ones, set expectations, course correct, and coach in ways that compound over time.

In high pressure moments when results are lagging and patience is thin, Jim brings blunt clarity and a practical playbook. He cuts through excuses, strips away noise, and gives leadership teams a small set of moves that produce visible traction fast. The leaders who work with him feel in control of their teams again, see better output from the same people, and stop wasting money on programs that never reach the front line. When you need leadership behavior to drive measurable productivity instead of just generating slide decks, Jim is the partner you want at the table.
