"I reflect often on what we learned together at the Leadership Beyond Management™ program. This is a phenomenally challenging time for our business and applying the leadership principles certainly helps me to deal with these issues. And I believe I am a more calm and thoughtful manager and leader. Thank you very much for what you and your team have helped me to understand about myself."

Tony Rongstad, Regional Director, Viking Electric Supply

I've learned to trust my own judgment more than ever. My leadership now is about doing the right thing at the expense of popular opinion sometimes. I've become much more direct with my team on issues that are important to me by explaining the 'what' and the 'why' of my decisions. The team tells me that I'm engendering greater trust because I'm doing this."
