THE MISSING PIECE
The plan
nobody writes.
“Blame is easy.
Leadership is not.”
Ask any business owner to show you their operations plan and they will pull it up in thirty seconds. Revenue targets, systems, timelines, growth.
Ask for their people plan and the room goes quiet.
Not a culture statement. A plan. Who fits which role. What drives each person. Where the friction will show up before it does. How each leader should coach differently for each person reporting to them.
When the operations plan underperforms, everyone starts looking for someone to blame. But the strategy was usually fine. The people were never matched to the work.
Build your people planTHE PEOPLE STRATEGY GAP
Business strategy.
Meet people strategy.
Only 12% of companies aligned their people strategy to their business strategy in a 2020 survey of 600 executives.
A gap Mike has been challenging since 2020.
DATA MEETS HUMAN UNDERSTANDING
Know your people.
Build a stronger business.
WHAT ARE YOUR DRIVES?
Four drives. One clear picture of how you work.
Mike asks every room the same question. Your answer shapes how you lead, how you hire and how you like to be led.
HIRE. INSPIRE.
Where does your
people plan start?
We call it HIRE and INSPIRE.
Better hiring is just the beginning.
Start with the work.
Define the role, understand the candidate, and build an interview that finds the right fit.
- Define the demands of the role
- Understand behavioral fit
- Make the interview more meaningful
A different diagnosis.
CHANGE THE SYSTEM. CHANGE THE OUTCOME.
Seventy percent turnover was never a hiring problem.
A call center was losing most new hires inside ninety days and was certain they were hiring bad people. They were not. Every role was interviewed the same way regardless of what the job required. We rebuilt the process. Turnover dropped immediately.

As the former VP of Operations and Director of Learning for globally recognized companies, I have been fortunate to be part of amazing teams over the years.
