Dr. Mary Lippitt

As Founder and President of Enterprise Management Ltd., Dr. Lippitt created the award-winning Situational Mindsets Indicator (SMI)—an evidence-based assessment that expands leadership insight beyond traditional personality instruments such as MBTI® and DiSC®. Rather than measuring personal preferences, the SMI helps leaders interpret changing internal and external conditions, build Situational Acumen, identify opportunities, anticipate risk, and determine the priorities that matter most.
