After much hard work ON the business...

I am SO not doing the worrying and 'doing' of all the other things that are going on...It has been a great year! CW, Albuquerque, NM

After an on-site team workshop on the development and ownership of systems
Things are rolling along really, really well. I'm pretty excited, I had a great meeting with the team... Everybody's really understanding the flow of things. We've solved a pretty critical communications problem by creating a new position called Dispatcher and the team is working on a Dispatch System. It's just fabulous. Roby, this has been critical, I mean you coming in to work with us on site. I can't tell you how helpful it's been. It's almost given me new life. It's been amazing how you've been working through this with us...giving us the framework. JS, Albuquerque, NM

After hard work transforming a culture...

Getting the position agreements in place and working with my team to take full accountability of their positions has been so important. People are stepping up and being more responsible. There are big parts of the company that I spend a lot less time in now. Other business people who might do this should know that this work [of changing how the company works] can be really hard and stressful, while enornously rewarding.

Comments from Roby

Thriving depends on leaders who become Leaders with a capital L. It depends on self leadership and self management everywhere.

A summary of outcomes over the previous several months, after intensive work on infrastructure (positions and systems) and transitioning to a self management culture
The infrastructure, the culture, and the new hires are incredibly positive. Though we are small, we have been asked to act like a large corporation and are doing it successfully This has been massive change, not just a blip, and we are handling it well. I realize now that we will always be at sea, we will never reach a permanently calm port because of so many external changes that are enormous forces on our industry. We have to always strive to be in front of change and now we have the infrastructure and team to do it. Fortunately, a lot of day-to-day tasks are now fully handled by others, much more so than 2 to 3 years ago... this has been critical. ML, Santa Fe, NM

After in intensive workshop in rural Massachusetts...

I am quite impressed with Roby's skill at working us through a lot of the business development principles quickly and effectively in our intensive workshop. It's a great start for our team and I am certain sticking with it will reap substantial benefits for our company. RS, Hardwick , MA

A summary of outcomes after intensive work on infrastructure (positions and systems), transitioning to a self management culture, and getting good reporting mechanisms in place
It's a lot quieter guys are handling things on their own more, including their own material billing One of my guys has 3 to 4 jobs right now and he's way less stressed, coming to me less, and making his teams more reliable. They're thinking more in terms of systems and checklists. I'm pretty excited about these scorecards [simple, systematic ways for employees to report to managers]. Our gross margins on jobs are way up. HR, Albuquerque, NM
