Profession

John Raddall is CEO of Quanta Consulting (Pty) Ltd, a company he founded in 1992. Quanta specialises in the development of leaders, their teams and their organisations. Quanta has developed its own unique brand, philosophy, methods and tools to both measure the energy of leaders and organisations, and very specific and practical tools for increasing both energy and performance.

Quanta base their specialised approach on their simple systems model, which shows leadership energy as the primary driver of organisational energy and performance. Their research shows a strong and positive correlation between the level of leadership energy and organisational energy on the input side of the equation with customer satisfaction and profitability on the output side.

The Quanta philosophy is straightforward and practical. As leadership energy is the primary driver of all organisational performance, the best way to increase innovation and performance is to increase leadership energy. Quanta does this through the application of their own customised assessment tools and the implementation of their unique behavioural change methodology.
