Claims a repeatable "Luminary framework" that uses narrative work, emotional literacy, and mapped workflows to turn low-performing teams into high performers, tested across teams from five people to ~1,000 globally and measured over a year by velocity and throughput. Results show 8–10x efficiency, 95–98% retention and ~90% of leadership roles filled internally. Tools include Big Five personality profiling, hero’s-journey storytelling workshops, blocker-mapping and transparent decision models; teams report concrete culture change, returners and promoted engineers, so the approach demonstrably works.
