My name is Hrvoje Bulat, and I am here to help you develop and align your organization.
My Services
Leadership Development
If your teams are lacking:
Employee Engagement,
Ownership,
Competencies,
Or you simply want to strengthen your own leadership skills or those of your managers.
Organizational Alignment
If within or between teams you are lacking:
Alignment,
Collaboration,
Innovation,
And this is creating a gap between strategy and its execution.
1:1 Coaching
If you or your colleagues have a need for:
Greater clarity of direction,
Exploring new perspectives,
Personal and professional growth,
So that you, your colleagues, and the entire organization can move forward.
Besides pay, employees most often quit due to a lack of care from superiors and development opportunities
(McKinsey & Company, 2022).
Leadership Development
Method: OAK Leadership Model
I can offer you two options:
1. OAK Leadership Model Transformation Program – a three- or six-month program that includes modular learning, coaching, mentoring, practical assignments between sessions, and best practice sharing. The intensity, continuity, and ongoing support lead to strong skill adoption.
2. OAK Leadership Model Training – a two-day in-class training where you learn and practice the tools needed for effective leadership, from goal setting and giving feedback to a comprehensive approach to developing each individual employee and the team as a whole.
Consistent and high-quality application of what is learned leads to:
- Higher Employee Engagement and Ownership,
- Stronger mutual trust,
- Development of individual and team capabilities.
Organizational changes succeed in only 30% of cases
(McKinsey & Company, 2015).
Organizational Alignment
Method: Systemic Team Coaching
I can offer you:
Systemic Team Coaching, a methodology developed by Professor Peter Hawkins, one of the world’s leading authorities in coaching, leadership, and team development, based on over 40 years of experience working with Fortune 100 companies, governments, and leading international organizations.
This approach addresses the key challenges facing an organization and is typically applied to leadership or other teams over a period of 6 to 12 months.
Your commitment to applying the method leads to:
- Alignment of all stakeholders,
- Balancing different interests,
- Achievement of high-impact, sustainable results.
Companies today increasingly encourage managers to develop themselves and their employees through coaching
(Harvard Business Review, 2019).
1:1 Coaching
Method: Integrative-Constructivist Coaching
I can offer you:
A fully tailored approach, recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
The integrative approach combines different psychological perspectives, methods, and techniques to fully adapt to your individual needs.
The constructivist foundation is based on the idea that you construct your own meaning, and understanding of reality. The focus is on shifting your perspective and how you see your world, so you can achieve your goals.
I work with C-suite leaders, as well as middle and line managers.
Your commitment to the process leads to:
- Greater clarity of direction,
- Fresh perspectives,
- Personal and professional growth on the path to achieving your goals.
What do Clients say?
"Hrvoje has excellently translated his managerial experience into a leadership model based on scientific insights into motivation. By using this model, the leader simultaneously cares for the needs of employees and the achievement of business goals. A particular advantage of the model is the Motivational Matrix, which helps the leader identify employees' needs and motivate them."

About me
My name is Hrvoje Bulat. I hold a degree in Psychology from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, graduating in the top 10% of my class. I am also a recipient of the Chancellor’s Award for work in the field of ethics in psychology.
I have over 20 years of experience, primarily gained in Talent and Leadership Development, as well as Business Development at Zagrebačka banka, one of the most successful companies in Croatia.
There, I also led a team supporting more than 1,000 employees in sales. Over time, a total of 70 employees rotated through the team, most of whom had previously been identified as less motivated or less competent.
Based on my successful work with them, I developed the OAK Leadership Model. It is a structured, field-tested leadership framework that strengthens Employee Engagement and competencies, enhances team collaboration, and aligns everyone around the team’s vision, purpose, and results.
The model’s proof of concept was conducted in 2025 within a top startup in its niche. Pre- and post-measurements of the OAK Leadership Model Transformation Program showed statistically significant improvements in leadership competencies, as well as increased team cohesion. Both are predictors of higher employee engagement and, ultimately, improved company performance.
I continuously develop my expertise across various topics, both in Croatia and internationally.
I am accredited in the Integrative-Constructivist Coaching (ICCD), as well as in Systemic Team Coaching (STC). Both are certified programs recognized by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
I am currently enrolled in an advanced Systemic Team Coaching program (STC Practitioner) led by Professor Peter Hawkins, a global authority in coaching.
I have been a guest lecturer for several years at the Zagreb School of Economics and Management, covering topics such as Neuroeconomics, Neuromarketing, and Organizational Network Analysis (ONA).
I am also the author of articles published in leading business media such as Lider, Netokracija, and AIHR (Academy to Innovate HR). In addition, I'm a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council, a community that supports Harvard Business Review’s editorial team in shaping content.
