The inspiration behind Trimtab
Buckminster Fuller pointed to the trim tab: a small control surface on the edge of a ship’s rudder. Move the trim tab and the rudder turns. Turn the rudder and the whole ship changes course.
We believe leadership works the same way. Small shifts in leaders’ hearts and minds can set in motion powerful waves of sustainable change within organizations — in mindset, behaviour, relationships, accountability, communication and resilience, and from there in team performance, decision making, culture, execution and results.

Our mark
Why the kite?
A kite stays up not by resisting the wind but by working with it. Small adjustments to line and angle decide where it goes — and how long it stays there.
