Steven J. Gaffney

STEVEN GAFFNEY, CEO of the Steven Gaffney Company, is the leading expert on creating Consistently High Achieving Organizations (CHAO)™ including high-achieving teams, honest communication, and change leadership. He is one of the few leadership experts who can guarantee results.

Since founding his company in 1994, Steven has worked with leaders and teams inside organizations such as Amazon Web Services, Marriott International, Lockheed Martin, and even the United States Marine Corps. His clients are often organizations that are already number one in their markets, or organizations determined to become number one. In either case, they are impatient. They want to improve teamwork and solve problems now.

Steven’s work helps leaders and teams create what he calls “the language of transparency,” allowing people to discuss difficult issues openly, reduce hidden agendas, improve collaboration, and tackle problems faster and more effectively. He is the creator of Consistently High Achieving Teams (CHAT)®, Powerful Culture®, 2-hour and 18-minute Strategy™, and the legendary course, “The Fish Isn’t Sick . . . The Water is Dirty.”

A trusted advisor to Fortune 500 companies, associations, U.S. government agencies, and the military, Steven is also a highly regarded author, sought-after speaker, cancer survivor, and recipient of the Celebration of Life Award.
