About Cleat & Pintle LLC
We specialize in diagnosing organizational challenges that others miss. Our approach is fundamentally different because we start at the margins—with frontline workers, quiet experts, and atypical thinkers who are closest to the actual work. This is where the real diagnosis lives. We believe that the answers to your organization's most pressing problems already exist within your teams; they just need a safe space to be heard.
We work with small and mid-sized organizations struggling with team dysfunction, failed initiatives, and process breakdowns. Our mission is to help leadership understand what their teams already know but haven't been able to say safely. By bridging the gap between frontline insights and leadership understanding, we enable organizations to identify root causes, implement meaningful solutions, and build stronger, more functional teams.
Our Services
Team Dysfunction Diagnosis & Resolution
We identify the root causes of team dysfunction by listening to frontline workers and quiet experts. Our diagnostic approach uncovers hidden conflicts, communication breakdowns, and interpersonal issues that undermine team performance, then we work with leadership to implement sustainable solutions.
Initiative Pre-Mortem Recovery & Process Improvement
When initiatives stall or processes break down, we investigate what went wrong by consulting the people closest to the work. We help organizations understand why projects failed and redesign processes to prevent future breakdowns while building organizational resilience.
Leadership Communication & Organizational Alignment
We facilitate safe channels for teams to share critical insights with leadership. Through structured listening and communication strategies, we help leaders hear what their teams already know, build trust, and create alignment between frontline realities and organizational strategy.
