We Help YOU Build A 'Best Place To Work' Company.
Our clients are Entrepreneurs and CEOs of small businesses who are already successful and know that to ultimately achieve their vision they must find a way to re-engage their employees in new ways - for growth and expansion.
Do any of these situations fit your company?
You're a seasoned CEO or business owner and you’ve grown your business to a respectable level. Perhaps you also have a talented leadership team. They have done well in the past but now your team is struggling to produce the basic numbers required in your budget.
You’ve tried to implement new initiatives, new and different programs to motivate employees - and you're frustrated with the results – it’s not working. You’ve tried different ways to rev up the troops. You’ve offered healthy incentives to reach your goals; you’ve even changed the sales commission structure in hopes of boosting sales. Business is not waiting in line for your services or products and now you're wondering if you need to just get out of the way – or you need to clamp down more.
You’ve had tremendous success at recruiting super-stars but now they're not coming through for you. It’s not unusual for employees to stumble early on in their career and then straighten things out and come through. When that doesn’t happen you probably wonder why you're paying so many high salaries. Now you're concerned that you might not be able to turn it around without having to replace staff or severely cut costs?
You're a CEO or Division Executive of a larger corporation (gas, oil, international, financial, technology, etc.) and your leadership team needs to be better at holding people accountable for doing what they promised to do and for pulling their own weight. You spend money on training and development but the results are questionable – and you're not sure if there's a pay-off in productivity or an impact on the bottom line from the training people are doing. People seem to take little or nothing away from employee improvement programs that can be put into action to make the company perform better.
You have a successful company and you know you can do better. Although you appreciate all of the hard work people do, and it has shown up in growing and expanding into new business, you know you and your team could be doing a lot better. You want something that makes working in your company a better experience so you don’t lose these great people you have cultivated. You know you are vulnerable to the competition. How can you fireproof your skilled team?
If one or more of these situations are true for your company, please read on. You're in the right place. You’ll find help here.
The CEOs and Leaders most likely to succeed using our Promise-Based Management System have mastered the competencies most commonly found in ‘Best Place To Work’ cultures:
An interest in learning how to authentically engage their employees so they love what they do and stay on board.
A commitment to produce greater results and they know to do it they must develop the ability in their employees to create an emotional connection to the vision of their company.
A desire to be effective at creating a values driven culture that reflects the kind of behavior that will produce the breakthrough in results they want.
A need to get themselves and their employees pointed in the right direction, aligned, committed. and especially accountable.
High standards of excellence. Keeping the promises to take the actions and produce the results that were committed to.
Realization that even as a business owner you can't know everything - But you are willing to get help, get outside help to expand your’s and your employee’s knowledge and expertise at working together.
Willing to invest in themselves and their employees - They know their employees are the best investment they can make when everyone on the team is emotionally invested, engaged, committed, and accountable.
But WHY do I need to be a ‘Best Place To Work’ Company?
Here's why: One of the books read by most of our clients is the bestseller ‘Built To Last’ by Jim Collins. Many of our clients have even tried to implement some or all of the ideas they read about (think hedgehogs). Bloomberg analyzed the 18 public companies that were profiled in that book. They found that if you had invested in each of these companies over a period of 10 years, you would have received an almost 150 percent return on your investment. Not bad and a respectable return most people would welcome — But wait! Respectable in relation to what? It's great until you measure it against the S&P 500 index fund, which over that same 10 years would have given you a 250 percent return. Where would you put YOUR money? But we’re not done.
Then, if 10 years ago you’d picked up the January issue of Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For and each year you invested only in the public companies listed as one of the 100 Best companies, over that same period you would have been rewarded with a 600 percent return! What does that tell you about the value of improving your workplace?

“One way to build a successful business is to create an environment where people enjoy their jobs and are eager to work — in other words, a “best company to work for.”
