The Reluctant Leader

Sometimes, leadership chooses us – even when we aren’t prepared to accept it. But when we embrace the moment, we find the opportunity to learn, to lead, and to create the best path for ourselves and our organization.

In fall of 2011, Craig Galati found himself in this place. Reluctantly, he chose to immerse himself into leadership at one of the most difficult times in his architecture firm’s history. What he learned, however, propelled him to a better place, and was the impetus for re-creating a firm poised for brilliance. A truly life-giving firm that will continue well past his tenure.

This is a story of vision, compassion, and grit.
