ABOUT US
The Resultants was founded in 1999 by Steve and Terri Wilcox — entrepreneurs who had spent 25 years building, growing, and selling businesses of their own.
From the beginning, The Resultants set out to fill a gap left by traditional business advisors who focused on strategic planning and walked away.
Steve and Terri understood something most consultants didn't: the hardest part isn't making a plan. It's executing one.
So they built something different — a hands-on, embedded advisory model that goes beyond the planning room and into the day-to-day work of building high-performing teams. They called it the Team Behind Your Team™.
The Resultants has since served hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals across the Upper Midwest.

Our Core Values
We Are The Team Behind The Team™
Transformational
We care deeply about people and communities, building healthy teams where people feel valued, helping one another find balance while enjoying the journey.
Ethical Execution
We act with integrity and build trust through meaningful relationships, ensuring that our commitments and actions consistently align with ethical principles.
Accountability through Fearless Leadership
We demonstrate a strong professional presence and make confident, informed decisions, leading with courage and owning our responsibilities to strengthen accountability across teams.
Mastery
We commit to continuous improvement by learning relentlessly, staying curious, and elevating our skills so we can contribute at the highest level.
"The Team Behind The Team" serves as the overarching, unifying theme. Our founders, Steve and Terri, have played a central role in shaping and refining these values over the years, working closely with the leadership team to ensure they reflect who we are.
The acronym reinforces the importance of Team, making it easier for us to remember and authentically live our values. It gives us a simple, memorable structure that aligns with how we show up for one another and for our clients.
It’s about how we live these values in our everyday actions—how we show up, make decisions, and use our values as a guiding filter. We’re simplifying and clearly defining what it means to live our values, operationalizing them, and using them as a consistent touchstone for decision‑making.
