Entrepreneurship: Walk the Talk

In my many years of experience, I’ve realized that hiring and retaining the best employees isn’t always about “Show me the money!”  Unlike Tom Cruise’s character in “Jerry Maguire,” I believe the optimum, modern work environment requires a blend of compensation, culture and leadership to move a company profitably forward.

This is why Conover Consulting has undergone a transformation. First, I must thank my clients for their input which helped me expand my practice to include new service offerings of leadership development and cultural alignment which, coupled with compensation planning, is the trifecta of a successful business.

 Maximizing ROI by Leading the Right People the Right Way with the Right Rewards

 Employees leave companies because of poor leadership, lack of opportunity, stagnant compensation and a mismatched culture. While remaining focused on paying the right people the right amount for the right reasons, I’m also improving the bottom line in new ways through leadership development and cultural alignment. All of this encouraged me to re-brand and launch a new services-oriented website.

 After having my own consulting firm more than 20 years, I’m comfortable saying entrepreneurship is in my DNA. Dan Harrison, creator of Harrison Assessments, provides an excellent view of what makes entrepreneurs successful and how the Harrison Assessment can help employers identify entrepreneurial traits in employees and potential hires in Entrepreneurship: What Makes for Success and Can We Assess for It?  Entrepreneurial skills are absolutely needed in established companies because innovation, appropriate risk taking, ability to think broadly, and people skills are all part of what makes a small firm owner and an employee of a large organization successful.
