About

Andy Fleming is Co-Founder and CEO of The Developmental Edge® (TDE), the firm redefining leadership development for the 21st century. A pioneer in scalable behavioral transformation, Andy helps organizations turn leadership development into a system-wide capability, embedded in how people work, collaborate, and lead every day.

A simple conviction guides his work: the companies that will win the future are those where people grow as fast as their business challenges. Andy calls this a 21st Century Growth Culture®, a culture in which personal growth, collective learning, and business performance reinforce one another in a self-perpetuating cycle of improvement.

History with The Developmental Edge®

Under Andy’s leadership, TDE has partnered with global organizations like Google, General Mills, and the U.S. Navy to embed adaptive leadership behaviors at scale. Using proprietary frameworks such as The Developmental Sprint®, a four-week accelerator for real-world leadership growth, and the Growth Culture Indicator®, a diagnostic that measures a company’s “developmental richness,” TDE helps clients create cultures where everyone gets better at getting better together.

Industry Highlights

Andy co-authored An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization with Harvard’s Dr. Robert Kegan and Dr. Lisa Lahey, a book recognized by Harvard Business Review as a CEO Must-Read. His long-time collaboration with Kegan, Lahey, and Dr. Matthew L. Miller has positioned The Developmental Edge ® at the forefront of workplace adult development.

Before founding TDE, Andy held leadership and consulting roles at Procter & Gamble, The Hay Group, Aetna, Frazier & Deeter, Synovus Financial Corporation, and TSYS Payment Solutions. He also served as Director of Programming for Ethics & Servant Leadership at Emory University’s Center for Ethics, where he developed a model for career discernment that continues to shape leadership programs worldwide.

A graduate of Yale University and Harvard Business School, Andy is widely regarded as a leading voice in the movement to make leadership development a team sport rather than an individual exercise. His mission is to help CEOs and executive teams “scale like they mean it” by aligning leadership growth with business transformation, creating organizations that learn and adapt faster than the pace of change.
