Exceptional Insight “It’s critical to overcome your barriers.”
Through his experience with Vistage, Allied Consulting Group and Léargas, John realizes that most organizations will hit barriers at various stages of their growth and development. Typically these barriers happen at very similar stages and are related to growth in headcount. The first step in overcoming the barriers is recognizing that it’s a natural part of organizational development. Next is to create a plan to overcome the barriers and then to execute the plan. Simple but hard at times.
