MEET JAMES WILSON
James Wilson works with CEOs and senior leadership teams as an external advisor when communication friction, unclear priorities, and internal tension begin to slow execution.
He helps leaders see what’s actually happening inside their organization, identify the constraints getting in the way, and create clarity where decisions, conversations, and alignment start to break down under pressure.
Over the past decade, James has led and advised complex, multi-department teams and facilitated high-stakes conversations where alignment mattered and the cost of getting it wrong was real. His experience spans fast-growing organizations, diverse teams, and environments where people, performance, and responsibility intersect.
In addition to leading Slant Leadership Group, James currently oversees multiple departments and leaders within a large, growing organization, working at the executive level to align teams, strengthen communication, and support sustained growth in complex systems.
James is the author of Pain Formation and The SLANT Method, where he explores how leaders navigate pressure, complexity, and responsibility without losing clarity. His advisory work is grounded in a simple belief: most leadership challenges are not about effort or intent, but about seeing clearly and addressing friction before it compounds.
