“As you know I resisted tracking leading indicators for fear of becoming a micromanager and from the self-limiting belief that I did not have time to manage the daily activities of my people. In truth, what has actually happened is my strategic time has been freed up as a result of holding everyone more accountable and my conversations with my staff have become much more focused. This has been particularly helpful in light of the current economic conditions and has better enabled me determine where to cut, where to shore-up and in creating a general culture of accountability within the company.” President, TLC Staffing

I want to thank you for all your coaching over the past 5 years. It has helped me grow and mature in many ways. It has especially helped me develop my business. When I first started working with you, my business was struggling and not profitable. Since then, it has become a viable profitable business. Five years ago, we were at $3.3M in revenues. By year end 2008 we will have finished the year at about $6.5M.” President, Eaton Leonard Tooling Inc.

“Tracking our key indicators gave us the realization that we were bidding but not getting business, and the contractor was using us as a third bid, so we have said we aren’t bidding unless we are going to derive some business. As a result, we are going to be able to do a bid analysis of all the bids we lost, giving us a deeper understanding of where we stand against our competitors.” President and Owner, Trimm Woodworking
