Solving complex problems by creating simple next steps.
"I was promoted into a leadership role to manage a historically underperforming team. For over a year I was unable to make much, if any, improvement. The conversations I was having with the team took more and more effort, but produced little to no movement. I felt like I was pushing a large rock through a mud pit. That dramatically changed when I started working with abSimplicity. Andrew encouraged me to look at each member of my team to find out if they were capable of the performance I needed and if their actions demonstrated a commitment to results. When I started these conversations, I was able to determine which members of the team were committed to the performance I needed, but might not have the skills. I was also able to determine which members of the team were not committed to the performance I needed, whether they had the skills or not. This allowed a few members of my team the opportunity for a clean exit into other roles within the organization that better aligned with their skills. A few others left the organization completely. I was able to focus on developing the skills of a committed team. My personal energy spend decreased and my team’s performance skyrocketed. We’ve reached a level of sustained success that is setting records across the entire organization."
"As the CEO and founder of my company, I was negotiating with a private equity group that was prepared to purchase a majority interest and provide a substantial investment for future company growth. The hiccup was that the PE group had requested one small branch of my company be eliminated, as it was running at a small loss and being subsidized by the profit from other entities. I felt strongly enough about the value of this underperforming branch that I walked away from the deal. Working with Andrew using the abSimplicity approach of People, Process, Profitability, and Sustainable Growth, I initiated a transformation of the underperforming branch. Within six months the small branch was profitable again, and after another 18 months, performance and growth had increased to add $2M in EBITDA. This past year I was able to successfully close a private equity transaction at a much higher multiple."
"As a mom of two I struggled with wanting more from my career without losing out on time with my young girls at home. I took online professional development courses and even attended several large leadership weekend seminars for almost 10 years, but only received a few minor promotions. My search to grow brought me to abSimplicity where I was invited to look hard at who I believed I was and what I believed I was capable of doing. With Andrew’s encouragement and support, I began to challenge my own belief that whatever talent or skill I had and who I was as a leader was not enough. I’ve learned to see conflict as an opportunity for transformation. I’ve learned how to develop my leadership skills and make decisions from a position of clarity. I am now leading and mentoring others from a place of authenticity and manage a large team that produces some of the top results in my company."
