Guy Leflar

GUY W. LEFLAR III, as a principal with Emergent Systems, is engaged in the search for knowledge and new discoveries about the changing nature of work and it's impact on the individual, the organization, and the culture. Since 1986 he has done extensive consulting with a number of diverse organizations, including many businesses in the Fortune 500. With a focus on Human Systems, Guy has helped his clients rethink how they can build and maintain their biggest competitive advantage, a dedicated and involved workforce.

Guy's work includes an integrated approach to the issues of productivity, quality, and change, and frequently leads to collaboration with a number of experts in areas such as Strategic Planning, and Systems Dynamics. This collaboration most recently has led to the development of a very successful and innovative process for empowering employees that is now used in several major corporations. In addition Guy's unique way of viewing people issues has produced a number of new employee retention models for his clients, that reflect the realities of today's workplace.

Prior to forming Emergent Systems Guy was a Sr. Vice President with Drake Beam Morin, a leading human resource consulting firm, where he helped build the Change Management practice area. Guy's work experience also includes a number of years as a Human Resource Executive for a major energy company where he worked full time to understand change implementation issues.

Guy's interest in helping organizations better understand their people management issues, by thinking of themselves as a community, has been a constant for him since he graduated from Texas A & M University with a BS in Finance. By following this interest it has enabled him to engage in study and problem solving from varied perspectives. It has brought him in contact with thought leaders such as Dr. Edwards Deming and George Land, and encouraged the connecting of traditionally separate fields of thought in social science and business.

Guy currently writes, speaks and conducts workshops on the importance of seeing our businesses as a community. He also consults with organizations in the area of leadership development, career self-reliance, human resource systems design, and culture change.

Guy's experience helping organizations understand and manage change encompasses the last 8 years and includes major projects with numerous companies. In many of these projects Guy did project planning , intervention design, and facilitation. Some key clients in the change area include General Motors, Mobil, Ericsson, and Shell.

Guy's work in diversity comes from a grounding in community building. His efforts have helped organizations of all sizes focus on the power of diversity in the natural world and the ways it creates conditions for sustainability. Through workshops and speeches he has helped leaders and employees see diversity as a requirement for long term success rather than just an appreciation of differences.
