About Tom Will, Ph.D.

I founded Growth at Work in 2018 to connect with others who are committed to their own development. I have worked with clients in the pharmaceutical, manufacturing, retail, technology, wealth management, public health, and banking sectors.

Drawing on constructive-developmental psychology and the adaptive leadership framework, I help managers and executives make progress on deep challenges.

In recent years I have served served as Senior Consultant at The Developmental Edge and as a faculty member in executive education programs at The University of Georgia's Terry College of Business and Emory University's Goizueta Business School. I am Professor of Business Management at Agnes Scott College, where I have served for 18 years.

I live in Marietta, Georgia, with my wife Claudia and our two daughters. I love laughing with my wife, walking my dog Daisy, and cheering for our daughters in lacrosse.

I am a graduate of Harvard University's Art and Practice of Leadership Development (2014), have studied workshop facilitation at Harvard Business School (2018), and have trained in Immunity to Change® facilitation for individuals (2017) and teams (2019) under Harvard's Bob Kegan and Lisa Lahey.
