Nigel Zelcer of Jabian Consulting
The culture of Jabian Consulting truly sets it apart. Jabian is a community-, career-, and client-focused organization. They value inclusion, teamwork, intellectual curiosity, and mutual support. While some companies are driven by metrics, they chose to be principle-driven and metrics-aware.
Our conversation with Nigel Zelcer, Partner & Co-Founder, focused on this remarkable culture and its impact on all Jabian stakeholders, especially the community. We discussed issues such as:
- Unlike most management consultants, those at Jabian are home every night!
- The continual focus on “Making People Famous”
- 60% of Jabian employees are in leadership positions with local nonprofits and literally 100% are involved
- How the Jabian corporate culture “spills” into their clients and other stakeholders
- Think Work/Life Integration vs. Work/Life Balance
- Jabian Cares – an internal non-profit delivered $630K of pro bono services, matched $27K of employee contributions and had a direct “willful impact” on 23 local nonprofits
Frankly, I’ve never heard a story quite like that of Jabian.
