Leadership is one of the most underrated factors in a business’ success. In our experience, entrepreneurs are willing to buy dozens of books about leadership but they are unwilling to go the extra step needed to thoughtfully craft a leadership strategy for their business.
The video above is a testimonial from the founders of Advance Beauty College about how their company dramatically benefited from their three engagements with CSUF Consulting. For their Leadership project they challenged their CSUF Consulting team to develop a comprehensive plan on how best to navigate the murky waters surrounding the culture and leadership issues they faced after a recent acquisition.
Tam Nguyen, a CSUF MBA grad in his own right, understood that even though he had the necessary skill set to tackle this issue he did not have the bandwidth to do so in a satisfactory manner. Tam is a good leader not because he knows all the answers, no one does, but because he was humble enough to bring on one of our teams to develop a strategy for merging his new acquisition with his existing company.
What Tam and his partner Lihn Nguyen understood was that having a team dedicated to tackling a tough issue would produce better results than going at it alone and that this action would save them a lot of time and money in the long run.
Lihn and Tam benefited a great deal from the CSUF Consulting team and their mentor’s expertise. The team ably presented them with their current state of a misaligned culture and inefficient management structure, gave a vision for their desired management and leadership state, and provided a road map for how to achieve that transformation.
Advance Beauty College had paid professional consultants many more times what they paid for their CSUF Consulting Teams and they ended up much happier with the results from CSUF Consulting. Is it time for your business to get the same results? Can you recommend us to a good candidate for these services? If so, please get in touch with Charlesetta Medina, our Client Project Specialist, by calling her at (657) 278-8243 for more information.
