Building a High-Performance
Team
Trust-Based Leadership Development
My mentor and friend, John Spence, once shared his experience of working with a successful American entrepreneur who owned 23 companies of diverse scales. When asked about his success formula, the entrepreneur’s response was: “People, People, People!” This response strongly resonates with our core belief and philosophy that the success of your organization, grounded in effective leadership development, is directly tied to the quality of individuals you can attract, develop, and retain.
