Mckeever And Sullivan

Our mission is to take management performance to a higher level, with a discipline for the system and a passion for the practice.

our story

Who are McKeever and Sullivan?

Actually, it’s not who, but where. McKeever Place and Sullivan Place in Brooklyn, New York is the intersection where Ebbets Field stood.

What’s that got to do with anything?

Though the point is debatable, Ebbets Field represents more than 50 years after its passing, a symbol of a golden age of baseball, and of America.  It is that kind of feeling that we believe lies at the essence of our mission: to elevate the craft of management to generate dramatically improved performance for our businesses, and concurrently, our lives.

Being movie fans, we like a quote from Field of Dreams: It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again.
