J. A. Tomlinson
Leadership consultant, author, and founder of Global Support Inc & Global Mission Support. Building structures that protect the people inside them.
What shaped this work
This framework comes from watching good leaders carry more than they were meant to—until their body forces a confession. Load-Bearing Leadership was built to interrupt that pattern before the breaking becomes public.
The SelflessEdge Dual Integrity Model addresses what most leadership tools assume: a leader and a culture that can hold the weight those structures and systems require.
The dual entity model
Global Support Inc (for-profit) handles publishing, corporate consulting, and the DIAL assessment platform.
Global Mission Support (501c3 nonprofit) provides leadership training in underserved communities using a buy-one-give-one model—corporate training sponsors community leadership development.
