Been awhile since I had a chance to jump on and get a post out.  Wanted to share this post from Gregg Talley of Talley Management Group Inc.  about the recent blowback from the GSA scandal.  Hope you everyone can take some time to follow the link to submit a letter to their local Congress person and show some support for our industry.

Recently, the TMG Senior Management Team embarked on a new initiative to incorporate the Rockefeller Habits throughout the company.  At first I was a bit hesitant, who has time for such a big venture?  After a few meetings where the plan was laid out, the goals and objectives clearly defined it was noticeable this was a great plan and I was excited to begin implementing the plan.

For those of you not familiar with the Rockefeller Habits, yes it is based on the habits that made John D. Rockefeller one of the most successful businessmen in modern history.  The goal of the project is to adopt a definitive set of fundamental habits that result in a more disciplined approach to business across the company.

After seeing the amount of work that the Senior Team had already put into implementing the plan it was obvious that this was something they truly believed in.  After the initial overview I was convinced too, that this something that can significantly improve not only TMG, but our clients.  In our business it is vital that we have team members that can jump into different client teams to lend a hand, so implemented a more standard set of habits can drastically reduce the amount of learning on the go and getting up to speed.

While this is not an overnight endeavor, it is clear that there will be some noticeable differences from the start.  Like with anything there will be a learning curve, but I believe with the type of staff this will be embraced and results will be quickly become apparent.  As I said before this will not only be beneficial for the company, but the clients will benefit as well.  This is a great example of the type of support and development that I have seen from TMG over my time with the company.  There is a clear dedication to not only improve the company, but also staff and clients as well.
