WHO WE ARE

Dr. Ruth Middleton House, President and Lead Consultant.  Ruth stays centered during high-risk, high-conflict and high-complexity situations.  That makes her a valued resource to clients who are dealing with these things themselves.  She helps clients find a path forward even through “Wicked” Problems—problems with no agreed-upon definition and no agreed upon formula for solution.  Ruth, Doug, and Sherry all worked together previously on the dramatic turnaround of a large marketing department.  And another former client (Rosalynne) is now part of the Middleton-House & Company team.

Mr. Kenneth R. House, Vice President and General Manager.  Every role in Kenneth’s career has benefitted from his good sense, his hard work, and his engaging interpersonal style:   working with the tools in HVAC, designing commercial controls systems, managing a Central Engineering Department, developing business and managing a small business.  His easy-going persistence ensures that things and people show up when and where they are needed.  He helps Middleton-House & Company deliver high quality goods and services to clients via well-run and pleasant mechanisms behind-the-scenes.

Mr. J. Douglas Springfield, Senior Consultant.  Doug put his Middleton-House & Company tools and his MBA to good use in the turn-around of the marketing department of a large public utility.  First as Senior Director of Product Development, then as Vice President of Marketing, Doug helped engineer dramatic improvements in employee morale, customer service, and financials using Middleton-House & Company tools.  He now facilitates their use as a Middleton-House & Company team member.  He is also an Adjunct Professor at Keller Graduate School of Management where he teaches both Marketing and Managing Organizational Change.

 Dr. Rosalynne V. Price, Senior Consultant.  As senior manager of diversity for a large media conglomerate, Rosalynne skillfully leveraged true diversity of thinking.  Now, as then, she uses her knowledge and experience with demographic diversity to give voice to the most valuable ideas in diverse groups, to forge those groups into teams, and to help them move forward collaboratively.  In her community, in her place of worship and now as a Middleton-House & Company team member she continues to help people with diverse concerns and predispositions form alliances and take concerted action.

Ms. Sherry Lee, Executive Assistant.  Sherry worked closely with Ruth and Doug in the turn-around of the Marketing Department in a large public utility.  As Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Marketing, she was critical to the effective roll-out of complex, controversial and very successful change.  She coordinated management activities, facilitated the involvement of employee teams, and negotiated efforts across departments.  Sherry’s calm manner and consistent good work in the midst of turbulence continues to be an asset to Middleton-House & Company and its clients.
