  • ALL businesses are in the people business.
  • Everyone can improve both professionally and as an individual if they are committed to doing so.
  • Organizations, regardless of success levels, limit their success based on a failure to connect the business and the workforce.
  • An engaged workforce yields a more profitable business.
  • Leaders need objectivity to challenge their vision and strategy to make any organization better.
