ABOUT
Meet Founder and Master Consultant, John Libretti
John Libretti is an Air Force Veteran, current Officer in the Air National Guard, cybersecurity analyst and consultant, and founder of Spearhead Leadership. John spent nearly 15 years in the Active-Duty Air Force as an intelligence officer, where he led teams from 2-100 in high-stress and deployed combat environments. He also worked for some of the military’s highest caliber leaders where he gained invaluable experience and adopted principles on a leadership framework that he immediately incorporated into his own life.
Before joining the military, John worked with managers and coaches on various athletics teams to strengthen their organizations’ communication strategy, team motivation and elevate purpose development for athletes. He helped guide teams to multiple championships and mentored high performing athletes on their way to achieving national rankings.
After leaving the Active-Duty military, John wanted to find a way to continue helping individuals not only learn and grow in their careers, but rise to success in all areas of their lives including their emotional intelligence, self-awareness, internal motivation, and effective communication in their personal and professional relationships. He decided to create Spearhead Leadership, dedicated to teaching the military-derived leadership framework he has implemented in his own life and has since passed on to dozens of corporate and business professionals across the span of the last two decades.
John’s vision for Spearhead Leadership is to show people they can achieve success in all areas by becoming better leaders at a foundational level.
At Spearhead Leadership our mission is to help organizations and people identify the core challenges of their leadership style and improve the dynamics of their teams by bridging the gaps between their long-term company vision and their team’s daily execution.
Leadership Framework Through Results-Driven Values
Integrity
Operate with accountability and transparency in every aspect of life. Do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, even when no one is watching.
Have Unrivaled Work Ethic
Personalize and customize every interaction with every client. We make our clients feel like they are top priority at all times, and like their time with us is an exceptional professional experience.
Operate with Empathy
Treat every individual as a human being and make every person on the team feel valued, heard, and like their input matters.
Follow “The Big 3”
We believe the following elements of a routine make all the difference: exercise every day (physical, mental, emotional), be kind no matter what, and practice gratitude daily.
What Makes Spearhead Leadership Different
Our dynamic coaching style is effective for every individual, from interns and associates to executive leadership and esteemed Board members.
We stress communication over direct reporting so your teams build trust with each other, and look to you as a respected and transparent leader.
With Spearhead, you’re not investing in a one-and-done Powerpoint and some online modules. We’re right there in the trenches with you, essentially becoming your employee for as long as it takes to understand the ins and outs of your business structure.
We tailor the experience of every client. A start-up with five employees will receive monthly mentorship, keynotes, and curriculum drastically different from one of our Fortune 500 clients with varying team dynamics.
We make every voice count. We take the time to get to know every individual and their unique perspective so you understand company challenges and opportunities from every lens possible.
