Meet Al Dangelo
With a rich history spanning over 30 years in non-profit leadership, I played a pivotal role in the remarkable growth of a church, steering its expansion to seven locations and fostering a thriving congregation of over 3000 individuals. Throughout this extensive journey, I encountered and successfully navigated a diverse array of leadership challenges, solidifying my understanding of the nuances inherent in guiding organizations toward their fullest potential.
My enduring passion lies in identifying leaders hungry for growth across a spectrum of organizations. In 2015, a transformative year-long leadership experience with GiANT Worldwide reshaped my perspective and inspired the inception of "Lead Like One." This company, powered by GiANT Worldwide, stands as a testament to my dedication to serving leaders through the comprehensive suite of services offered by GiANT and extending beyond. Since its establishment, "Lead Like One" has been a catalyst for transformation, working collaboratively with leaders from businesses, non-profits, churches, schools, and diverse sectors, with an unwavering commitment to empowering them to thrive and leave a lasting impact in their respective domains.
Lead Like One comes from recognizing people's inherent gifts and personalities. Exceptional teams adeptly bring out the best in each member, discovering that together they create one great leader.
There are three parts to any organization and the people bucket is actually the most crucial. No matter what your organization does, you’re actually in the People business first. We help organizations make intentional investments in this people bucket that unlock their potential, build leaders worth following, and create teams that are invincible. This makes all three buckets stronger.
Our secret is to use powerful visual tools (like the one above) that create common language and then culture to compliment your vision and mission
We equip you to invest in yourself, your people and culture by …
- Helping leaders discover who they are and become even more worth following.
- Helping teams create cultures that truly get the best out of every person in the room in the healthiest possible way.
- Helping entire organizations develop a development culture that everyone wants to be part of.

Feedback from Clients
Giant Leadership was the game changer for me in my role of Assistant Superintendent of the Canton City Schools. For thirty plus years I worked tirelessly to bridge the communication gap between teachers, principals and central office staff. What I learned through Giant Professional Development gave me a completely new insight as to how we are different, alike and how to value each voice at the table. As I valued the voices I had so many more who felt safe to share and contribute. I was so much better equipped to see things through the eyes of others which was huge!!!

Over the course of several years my team and I have worked with Al, leveraging his expertise and the concepts in the GiANT portfolio. The engagement has proven to be productive and a value add to the organization. Collectively the tools form a common language and enable a deeper understanding of team dynamics and interpersonal relationships. After establishing an awareness of oneself, and the various make-ups of other team members, leaders are able to engage with one another in a manner that maximizes each individuals contribution. Longer term, the concepts are conducive to strategic organizational and leadership planning.
