Overview
Dr. Teich's consulting practice brings the framework of complementarity directly into organizational life. Over the course of his career, he has worked with executives and teams at Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Wells Fargo, and numerous startups and venture-backed enterprises. His approach is distinctive: rather than applying generic management theory, he uses the PACE Profile and the Solar-Lunar-Terrestrial framework to diagnose and address the specific complementary dynamics at work in each organization.
How It Works
Most organizations unconsciously privilege one archetypal orientation over the others. Technology companies tend to over-index on solar qualities — analytical rigor, decisive leadership, sustained focus — while undervaluing the lunar capacity for reflection, adaptation, and relational intelligence. Financial institutions often develop sophisticated solar-terrestrial cultures (analysis plus execution) while starving the lunar dimension (creativity, responsiveness to emerging conditions). Creative organizations may be rich in lunar energy but struggle with solar structure and terrestrial grounding.
Dr. Teich's consulting process begins with assessment — mapping the complementary profile of the organization, its leadership, and its teams — and moves toward integration. The goal is not to impose a template but to help the organization develop its underdeveloped dimensions while preserving the strengths of its dominant orientation. This is complementarity in practice: not a zero-sum rebalancing but a generative expansion of capacity.
Areas of Focus
Leadership development — Helping leaders recognize and develop their full archetypal range, moving beyond the default "solar commander" model toward a more integrated leadership style that draws on solar, lunar, and terrestrial capacities as the situation demands.
Team dynamics — Using the PACE Profile to map the complementary structure of teams, identify gaps and redundancies, and design working relationships that leverage difference rather than suppressing it.
Creative collaboration — Dr. Teich's specialty: helping creative teams navigate the alchemical stages of the creative process, from the Nigredo of initial chaos through the Rubedo of realized work.
High-performance culture — Building organizational cultures that sustain excellence without rigidity — that can hold both the solar drive for achievement and the lunar capacity for reflection, both the structured execution of Terra and the creative disruption of Hermes.
Who This Is For
Executives, founders, leadership teams, and organizational development professionals who sense that their conventional approaches to leadership, culture, and performance have reached their limits — and who are ready for a framework that goes deeper.
