Leadership performance that scales with growth.
Agnieszka Bojanowska, PhD
PhD-backed consulting for senior teams in high-growth and international organisations.
Clearer decision-making. Fewer escalations. Leaders who stay effective under pressure.
I work at the intersection of leadership psychology and organisational performance.
Growing companies face predictable tensions: overstretched managers, rising friction, unclear leadership dynamics, the gap between ambition and execution.
I don't push individuals harder. I adjust the system they operate in.
What I do:
Work with senior leadership to build more mature, resilient ways of working—structures that sustain both excellence and wellbeing as you scale.
Support senior leaders one-to-one who want to go deeper. To understand what drives them. To loosen what holds them back. To lead in ways that feel effective and sustainable.
How I work:
No generic tools. No fixed frameworks.
I listen closely. Ask uncomfortable but useful questions. Draw from rigorous methodology to meet the complexity of leadership under pressure.
Who I work with:
Leaders and organisations that expect depth, clarity, and a no-nonsense approach.
Ambitious. Curious. Unwilling to settle for surface-level change.
My aim:
Real transformation. In how leaders think. How teams function. How organisations perform.
