John Bradberry, M.A.
 Over nearly twenty years as an organizational psychologist, consultant, and entrepreneur, John Bradberry has improved the performance of more than a thousand leaders and hundreds of teams. Since 1997, he has led an independent consulting practice focused on helping businesses of all sizes elevate performance and achieve healthy growth. He has been an adjunct faculty member with Mercer Delta’s Executive Learning Center (now Oliver Wyman) since 1998, delivering leadership programs in the U.S., Mexico, and Europe.
In early 2007, John launched an extended study to identify the universal factors that drive startup success, with the aim of developing tools and applications for entrepreneurs and investors. He is currently working on a book on the subject—to be published by AMACOM (American Management Association)—and has written a chapter on entrepreneurship for the upcoming 2010 Pfeiffer Annual: Leadership Development (Wiley).
Prior to starting his consulting firm, John worked with First Union Corporation (now Wachovia/Wells Fargo) in several senior consulting roles. While there, he worked to successfully integrate newly merged functions and regions within the bank, designed and led corporate leadership training programs, and conducted a study of best leadership practices among the top 30 executives.
