RICHARD EARNED HIS LEADERSHIP STRIPES The Hard Way.
At age 28, Richard became the reluctant CEO of a 100-year-old family business that was $5 million in debt, losing $3.5 million a year, and six months from bankruptcy! Other pressure-cooker issues included brutal competition, unhappy manufacturer partners, and a less-than-stellar team.
With the help of an unexpected mentor named Frank, Richard was able to set a clear vision, create a vibrant culture, surround himself with an exceptional team of A-Players, and turn the company around.
Within just a few years, the business posted strong year-over-year profits, achieved top-ranked customer service due to outstanding team performance, and continued its growth trajectory by establishing new franchises. The foundation for this sustained growth and the eventual highly profitable sale of the business was a clear plan that connected all stakeholders under one vision.
As a leadership coach and sought-after keynote speaker, Richard works alongside senior leaders and business owners, guiding them to achieve outstanding team performance, profitability, and sustained growth through proven leadership and growth strategies.
