About
CenterBranch
You might be wondering why a leadership company is named CenterBranch. You may even be asking: What do trees, leaders, and organizations have in common? The answer is a lot more than you might think.
Every single tree, regardless of kind, has one thing in common — it has a core. I like to call this the CenterBranch. Palms, Oaks, Redwoods, Willows, Baobabs, Chinese Ginkos, and every other tree that can be named have a CenterBranch. Depending on the type, the CenterBranch may look different, yet it serves the same purpose – it is the core of the tree, and it has a root system. That CenterBranch, and what it’s rooted in, determines how the tree develops and grows, how many limbs it produces, the kind of shelter or shade it may (or may not) provide, and even how long it will thrive.
Leaders and organizations are parallel to trees. Both people and organizations have a CenterBranch, a core, and they are both rooted in something. Some have a CenterBranch of integrity, strength, service, growth, or ministry. In contrast, others may be unclear what their CenterBranch even is.
At CenterBranch, we help to identify the CenterBranch and what that is rooted in. We nurture, develop, and sometimes prune back to ensure that leaders and companies thrive. We Grow Great Leaders.
