Creating a powerful difference...

Tough Teams LLC     

If an organization thinks that group hugs and campfire songs will prepare their teams for success in today’s brutal business climate, Tough Teams is not a fit.  Tough Teams was created to work with companies that need their projects and employees to be successful in order to get out ahead of their competition.

Through the years, Tough Teams has worked with hundreds of organizations that have tried all of the latest and greatest training fads, only to find that the success on the job has increased minimally. These organizations have turned to Tough Teams to create and implement a clear vision when working with their project teams. In today’s climate of shrinking resources and tighter deadlines, Tough Teams has found creative ways to work with their customers to keep them on the leading edge of the competitive curve.

Tough Teams understands that it takes more than work breakdown structures and software tools to control and complete successful projects. It takes clarity and purpose, and project teams that are committed to the success of their work, and of the overall organization.  Tough Teams is successful only if they make their customers, more focused, more competitive, and more profitable.


Tough Teams Founders:


Bill Kuehn
President and Senior Facilitator

Bill sees corporations and their cultures changing tremendously in America today. They are moving from a near-monopoly environment to a non-regulated, fully competitive one. His coaching guides teams through this transition from autocratic "my way or the highway" approaches toward maximizing each person's performance on the team.

In 1986, Bill established Tough Teams to properly structure and save small companies. He has reached out to thousands of people directly and through various training organizations. A graduate in business and psychology from Illinois Wesleyan University, Bill is also a certified ISO 9000 auditor. He leverages his education and skills to help companies set up self-managed teams along with Total Quality Management processes


Steve Wille
CEO and Senior Facilitator

After many years in executive positions with large corporations, Steve brings practical expertise to our curriculum. His experience includes; Vice President of Information Technology, Diners Club/Citigroup, Director of Applications Development, Cahners Publishing, Vice President of Corporate Information Systems, Guaranty National Insurance

In managing software development, Steve is known for action. He brings projects in on time, on budget, and delights the customer. That is what usually happens, but Steve has his share of experiences that did not quite live up to expectations. His overall experience is what brings life to the workshops that he co-authored at Tough Teams.

With an MBA from Regis University and a BSBA from the University of Denver, Steve has a longtime commitment to education. He has served on advisory boards for the University of Colorado, Regis University, Denver Technical College, and DeVry University. He is also chairman of the board of the Colorado Lutheran High School Association, which owns and operates three high schools in the Denver area.
