Dick Olson

Dick Olson consults in the areas of selection testing, executive coaching, management appraisal, leadership development, and organizational change. Leveraging strengths in conjunction with addressing limitations serve as the underlying foundation of the consulting work done within Olson Consulting Group. This focus on leveraging strengths is the cornerstone to Dick’s coaching process. He founded Olson Consulting Group more than fifteen years ago to create innovative and effective approaches to leadership development, organizational development, and optimizing person-job fit. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota and is a Licensed Psychologist. Prior to starting Olson Consulting Group, he was Vice President of Personnel Decisions International (PDI). In addition to having over twenty years of consulting experience, he has worked as a manager and executive in two Fortune 200 companies. Dick also has taught both statistics and psychological measurement. He combines this experience with his management background to develop and revise approaches to performance feedback and selection testing. Dick has written works on both leadership and executive coaching, and has presented to several groups on both leadership and organizational change. He is the Director of Training and Development and a board member for the Association for Psychological Type. He is a current member and a former president of Minnesota Professionals for Psychology Applied to Work.

Dick Olson has developed a four stage, assessment-based coaching process to help employees maximize their contributions to organizations. He uses this approach to help individuals deal with many issues including interpersonal conflict, communicating abrasively, communicating non-assertively, and difficulty in planning, organizing, or delegating work. OCG’s coaching process is unique and responsive to the needs of the individual and the organization. By focusing on an individual's strengths, productivity and enjoyment of work increases dramatically.
