Alioune Schurz

Alioune Schurz

Vous le savez, le système ne fonctionne plus. Il épuise vos équipes. Vos talents partent. L'énergie se perd en politique interne.
➡️ 𝐋𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞 ? 𝐂𝐞 𝐧'𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐬 𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬. 𝐂'𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥'𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.

Le command-and-control hérité du XXe siècle n'a jamais été conçu pour l'agilité, l'innovation ou l'épanouissement. Il a été conçu pour la conformité.

Des centaines de dirigeants ont simplifié radicalement leur organisation grâce à l'auto-organisation. Pas des startups en t-shirt. Des fonderies industrielles (FAVI), des multinationales cotées (Haier), des organisations de 15,000 personnes (Buurtzorg).

Pas en sacrifiant la performance. En la redéfinissant.

Je m'appelle Alioune Schurz.
Ma mission : rendre l'auto-organisation accessible aux entreprises qui refusent le statu quo.
✅ Je décortique ce qui fonctionne chez les pionniers.
✅ J'accompagne celles et ceux qui sont prêts à franchir le pas.

La vraie question n'est pas "est-ce possible ?"
Mais "combien de temps pouvez-vous encore continuer comme ça ?"

Tim Huff

Tim Huff

Tim Huff is a decorated combat veteran, certified executive coach, and award-winning CEO recognized for servant leadership and character. A graduate of the U.S. Army’s Ranger School, Tim served 14 years as an Infantry Officer, culminating in a year-long deployment to Afghanistan with the US Army National Guard as Chief of Operations for a brigade responsible for training and sustaining the Afghan National Army. For his leadership in combat, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.

After active military service, Tim made what he calls his ‘most extreme transition’… from command of over a dozen tanks and leading 100 troops, and a few months later, to a cubicle at The Walt Disney Company, managing spreadsheets. That moment reinforced in him that genuine leadership isn’t tied to uniforms, titles, or settings. It’s about character: the one constant that endures when pressure mounts. He later advanced in technology leadership roles with Macy’s, CRH Americas, and Owens & Minor, but his life took another defining turn in 2017 when he became the client of an executive coach. The experience gave him a profound sense of leadership freedom and clarity and set him on a new mission: to help leaders everywhere discover the same success based in character.

Today, Tim is the President & CEO of Turknett Leadership Group, a 38-year-old Atlanta-based firm trusted by Fortune 500 companies and global organizations. He is a Titan 100 honoree and recipient of the Servant Leader of the Year Award, recognized for his commitment to building leaders who live and lead with integrity, respect, and responsibility. In 2024, he extended that commitment in the most personal way, by donating a kidney to help save the life of a colleague.

Tim’s message is clear: skills can be taught, strategies can shift, but character is the bedrock of leadership. Whether on the battlefield, in the boardroom, or at the side of someone in need, it’s character that inspires trust, courage, and authentic leadership.

He lives in Cumming, Georgia with his wife, Kristin, and enjoys hiking in the North Georgia mountains where he finds both rest and renewal for his life of service!
