About

Our Mission

We equip leaders and teams with the skills to build trust, drive collaboration, and thrive in an evolving workforce and ever-changing economy.

Our Vision

Full Partner Leadership was founded on a simple yet powerful idea: Leadership is about mastering partnership. It’s bigger than authority or control. Leadership is about creating the conditions where people want to solve problems together.

Michael Welp founded Full Partner Leadership after witnessing firsthand how many leaders lack the skills to foster the building blocks—safety, connection, and trust—necessary for innovation and excellence to launch. In today’s high-pressure work environments, where rapid results are prioritized over long-term sustainability, most organizations burn through their people and erode organizational trust in the pursuit of short-term wins. They achieve Q4 goals at the expense of building and stretching for lasting success.

Full Partner Leadership fuels more than leadership development.

We ignite cultural breakthroughs that free your organization to thrive.

Through decades of working with executives, teams, and organizations, Michael developed a leadership approach rooted in practical, results-driven transformation. He recognized that:

  • Leadership is a skill, not a position—and it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened.
  • High-performing teams are built on foundations of trust, not authority and power. Without trust, leaders can’t build cultures of collaboration, problem-solving, or resilience.
  • Sustainable success is more than driving outcomes. It’s about equipping people with the skills and mindset to lead through complexity and change.
  • The future of work requires a new kind of leadership—one that goes beyond hierarchy to create environments where people want to contribute, innovate, and stay engaged for the long haul.

At Full Partner Leadership, we work with organizations to future-proof their leadership, develop resilient teams, and embed sustainable, high-trust workplace cultures that optimize performance for years to come. Our programs are immersive and experiential, helping leaders and teams practice, apply, and sustain the skills they need to thrive in an era of continuous change.
