Tracy: You’ve worked with a lot of different businesses, but I wonder if there are common questions or problems that you see repeatedly?
Lee: It is the newly appointed CEO who says “I can do this myself. That’s why they think they were hired to be the CEO.” Instead of seeing us a lifeline to help ensure they are successful, their ego takes over. While they can do what do, the problem is that when they land in the job, they don’t have the time to formally and systematically understand the organization’s culture and to assess the core operations. They have the full intention of doing what we can do, but it never gets their full attention. We will help them understand the culture and strategic landscape of their new situation in less time and more objectively than they can on their own
Tracy: You clearly put 100% into your business. What do you do to refuel your energy? What’s your passion?
Lee: I’m a Francophile and a lifelong learner, who is dissatisfied with satisfaction. I lived and worked in France for five years, 29 years happily married, moved six times in 20 years, and now reside in downtown Chicago.
