The 'A' Team - Change Your Thinking

"If you want something to change, you have to change the way you think about it."

- Lynette Ladd, President of Chemworks

I saw a recent study that found only 29% of employees are engaged and that engaged employees produce 202% of the average employee. Here is proof of those findings:  

Below there is a link to a 6 or so minute recording of a client of mine. Lynnette Ladd is the owner of a Chemical Manufacturing company in Dallas, Texas - Chemworks. She is a Chemist by training and started this company about 5 years ago.

I met her in September 2011. The team (herself and 3 employees) had revenues that year of $560,000 and Revenue per FTE (employee) of $140,000. The company barely broke even.

In 2014 she had revenues of $2.2 million with a 12% net profit. Her Revenue Per FTE (employee) last year was $311,000.

 This last year she grew the topline 53%, with what she calls 6 "A Team Players" and a coach (her) vs. 12-18 months ago when she says she had 7 employees and a "manager" (her).

Yes she changed the way she thought about leading and managing and started doing the things that made her a coach.

She got the results above and at the same time reduced the chaos, stress and drama from a loud roar to a whisper. People are seeking her out asking her for a job. Employees are recommending friends join them there. Wow!

Listen for 6 minutes as she explains her change in thinking and doing (actions) that created these results. I sprung this on her, so please stay with it until the end - some real learning happens then.
