Jim:
Just a quick note to thank you, again, for your outstanding presentation this morning! The fact the presentation was entertaining, on top of extremely educational, was great!

I completely concur with your philosophies and have been part of some exceptional leadership environments that benefited from similar approaches. In my experience, the most difficult part of such a transformation is to get senior leadership's commitment! It's very difficult for most people to relinquish control to the point of allowing such transformation to occur. And without senior leadership buy-in, you only find pockets of engaged employees within larger companies. That's been my quandary at Home Depot -- trying to execute initiatives to engage people's hearts and minds, when that's not valued by those above me in the organization.

All that whining aside, you've given me the encouragement to go back to the well and take some steps to at least see if I can help make a mini transformation occur within the leadership team that I'm a part of!

Thanks, again, for your insights Jim and best wishes for your continued success!!"

“Inspirational Words from a Leader of True Excellence. Jim Huling captured everyone’s attention as he invited us to listen to an inspirational story focused around the relationship he had built with his daughter Sarah. By doing so, he gave insight into the defining moment that changed his life, how he lives each day with purpose and then shared with us the greatest leadership secret of all. By creating a vision and mission for each role that he plays in life, Huling has been able to live each day to the fullest with no regrets. The bottom line: People want to be with people of excellence – wouldn’t you?”
