Mark Thienes brings over forty years of leadership experience guiding teams to winning seasons across a wide range of industries. Known as "The Original Gapologist," His passion for unlocking human potential began with a simple yet powerful curiosity: Can winning behaviors be taught and replicated?As a senior executive with a Fortune 500 background and a respected business consultant, Mark devoted himself to studying performance--specifically, the contrasting behaviors between top and bottom performers. That curiosity led to the creation of the Gapology Framework, a proven methodology that has helped tens of thousands of leaders identify and close Performance Gaps to drive measurable results. Since the release of Gapology in 2010, he and co-author Brian Brockhoff have continued their journey of discovery, co-writing the follow-up books IMBAR: The Pathway of Transformation and Speed of Purpose: Achieve 2.8x Productivity and Beyond.
