Working With Organizations

Lawrence brings the same frameworks from his books and executive experience into boardrooms, leadership offsites, and conference stages.

Speaking

Lawrence speaks on the dynamics most organizations overlook — the outsized role of followers, the quiet influence of informal leaders, and why conventional leadership models leave performance on the table. His talks draw on original research, decades of operating experience, and frameworks that give audiences something they can actually use.

  • The 80/10/10 model and rethinking organizational performance
  • The Socratic method as a management philosophy
  • Team building in modern and hybrid workplaces
  • Strategic maturity — moving from planning to execution

  • Organizational design and leadership alignment
  • Strategic planning and execution discipline
  • M&A integration and operational transformation
  • Building cultures that perform without depending on heroic leadership

Built at the Intersection of Engineering, Business & People

With a Stanford PhD in Engineering, an MBA from Emory, and 17 years leading at Microsoft, Lawrence brings a rare combination of analytical rigor and human insight to the study of organizations. As CEO of AGCP Farmaceuticos, he applies these principles daily to build companies that perform.

His five books explore the forces most leadership thinking ignores — the power of followership, the Socratic method as a management philosophy, team dynamics in hybrid workplaces, the discipline of strategic execution, and the character traits that separate good organizations from great ones. His work spans technology, healthcare, hospitality, biopharmaceuticals, and fintech.
