Leadership Team

Dr. David Barnett, Founder and President, has been a leader in the study of individual productivity and career development since 1993. Barnett’s research challenged the notion that only personality factors are stable and predictable enough for study across time and occupations. His psychodynamic Four Levels Model was a breakthrough in the field of sales productivity and has more recently enabled not only the behavioral analysis of customer service, but also the exploration of the inherent relationships between sales and service in proactive business environments.

In addition to a Master’s degree in counseling psychology, Dr. Barnett holds an earned doctorate in Organizational Management from McCormick Seminary at the University of Chicago. He completed a pre-law degree at Indiana University and has served on the faculty of several business universities. He has presented his findings at leading sales organizations and industry conferences.
