Why Leadership is Like Driving a Car?

February 10th, 2012 // 11:31 am @

I don’t know about you but most of what I have learned in life has been by “doing”.  We all start out needing some sort of training or instruction but it is only when I use what I have learned that I can actually say I learned something.  How many times have you said, “Oh [...]

Testimonials

"In early 2005 after 10 years as the President of Consolidated Electrical Contractors (CEC) I felt like I was in a trap. As an accountant I was frustrated that sales were growing at a rapid pace but profitability was not. In June of 2005 Alan joined our team as an external coach. He helped us to move forward with a restructuring of our organization to make us more effective (not a downsizing). With his facilitation and support we were able to begin to leverage our individual talents. We transitioned from an operating model that was a mile wide and an inch deep to an inch wide and a mile deep. In the process we discovered that organizational structure wasn’t our only problem. Our management team was as a group of highly paid doers and supervisors. Al helped us to learn to become effective managers and leaders. There were many stages to the process and it took over 12 months to transform our company. Al was an invaluable asset to us throughout this transformation. He worked with us as individuals and as a team. After two years of difficult economic times many contractors have been force out of business. CEC is still standing. I am certain that without the changes we made and Al’s support we would not be here today. We consider Al a valued partner."
