From Grit to Growth:
The Foundations of Leadership
Leadership Culture was established in May 2024 as a consulting firm built by real business owners for real business owners. Founded as an offshoot of K & K Management and Investment Group, Leadership Culture emerged out of a frustration with the traditional coaching industry, an industry filled with surface-level advice and one-size-fits-all frameworks that rarely drive lasting change.
At the helm is Daniel Kingston, Senior Consultant and international business strategist, currently leading his 11th business. Alongside Daniel, the team includes Kiri Kingston, an experienced entrepreneur and director of K&K Management and Investment Group, and Justin, a consultant with hands-on expertise across his own five businesses. Supporting them is a collective team specialising in administration, advertising, and operational implementation.
Unlike typical coaches who tell you the what and the why, Leadership Culture exists to show you how. We stand alongside owners in the trenches, diagnosing bottlenecks, implementing practical solutions, and guiding every critical decision. With combined backgrounds spanning real estate, horticulture, aquaculture, manufacturing, hospitality and beyond, our team knows what it takes to build businesses that scale, and sustain.
While we do offer mentoring for those who want ongoing support, Leadership Culture is first and foremost a consulting company. We deliver results through hands-on projects, strategic restructures, and operational overhauls that create businesses capable of running without their owners.
Leadership Culture: Because you don’t need another coach. You need a consulting team that builds it with you.

Forge The Trenches For Boardroom Performance
Leadership and Culture
Simplifying Systems to Multiply Results
Across our combined decades in industries like manufacturing, hospitality, and brokerage, we’ve seen how poor leadership and misaligned culture can cripple performance.
Daniel’s leadership transformations, from military and emergency services to scaling multiple million-dollar businesses, prove that when leadership capability is built and cultural systems are aligned, teams perform without being pushed. This isn’t theory, it’s the operational reality we’ve created in our own businesses and for those we consult with daily.
Technology and Integrations
From Emergency Response to Executive Precision
Between managing operational workflows in real estate, manufacturing, and multiple service-based companies, we know what fragmented tech costs a business, in time, money, and staff frustration.
Whether it was integrating CRM and quoting systems to halve admin time or rolling out AI tools to simplify reporting and customer management, our team has implemented practical technology solutions that deliver measurable efficiency improvements without overwhelming owners or staff.
Policies and Procedures
High-Stakes Leadership in High-Control Environments
In businesses we’ve run and turned around, from production facilities to sales organisations, we’ve seen how inconsistent work methods lead to errors, poor morale, and stalled growth.
Kiri’s ability to build clear operational policies and Justin’s strength in creating actionable procedures means we’ve designed structures that not only improve performance, but also create the confidence teams need to operate effectively when owners step back.
Systems & Processes
Where Precision, Pressure, and Leadership Converge
Most businesses operate in chaos because no one has mapped out the workflows that drive consistent results.
Our team has rebuilt operational systems in industries ranging from horticulture to manufacturing, ensuring that the owner isn’t the daily decision-making bottleneck. These aren’t textbook processes, they’re models refined through years of leading, implementing, and scaling businesses that need to run without owner dependence.
Marketing and Customer Acquisition
Decades of Service. A Lifetime of Leadership.
From service-based companies needing steady leads to manufacturing businesses seeking national contracts, we’ve developed and implemented marketing strategies that move beyond flashy branding into practical customer acquisition systems. With a combined background covering advertising, B2B sales, and operational growth we can train and implement marketing and sales processes that add revenue, and bottom line numbers.
Manufacturing Production
Precision, Performance, and Scalable Production
Having owned, managed, and consulted in manufacturing and production environments, we’ve faced firsthand the bottlenecks, quality control issues, and rising costs that drain margins.
Whether it was optimising production flow in horticulture operations or refining quality assurance systems in processing facilities, our team’s combined experience ensures production isn’t just efficient, but scalable, creating reliable outcomes and protecting profits as you grow.
Operational Efficiency and Time Management
Leadership Forged in Pressure, Proven Across Sectors
Between Daniel’s 100-hour weeks before implementing operational models, Justin’s turnaround of service-based business workflows, and Kiri's ability to systemise day-to-day management structures, we know what it takes to reclaim time.
We’ve built businesses that free the owner from constant firefighting by refining operations to run efficiently with clear delegation, accountability, and embedded leadership capability.
Strategic Planning and Exit Readiness
Precision, Performance, and Scalable Production
Exiting a business or scaling it sustainably requires more than just hope and spreadsheets.
Across our combined ventures, from buying and building businesses to preparing them for acquisition, we’ve created growth strategies that ensure owners aren’t trapped in operations when it’s time to sell or step back. And truthfully, a sellable business is a profitable business.
Whether it’s operational readiness, leadership depth, or financial positioning, we’ve walked the path ourselves and now guide others to do the same with confidence.
