Tom Reich

“It’s been amazing working with Tom. I have simply become a fan of Scaling Up. As a CEO of growing business, I started to feel a little less in control, but now having worked with Tom for the last year, I feel like I am back in control of our growing business. I will never forget how Tom challenged me on my Core Purpose. I thought we had it all worked out but it turns out we were confused with “what” we were doing versus “why” we really do it. This really drew out my deep-seated passionate Core Purpose and gave me a lot more energy, drive, and meaning going forward. That was a major achievement! Embedding the 3-year strategy (3HAG), annual/quarterly priority planning, and the regular meeting rhythm process, gave us the real structure we needed rather than drifting all over the place. Its been a huge change for the better on how we operate as a business – with real purpose and a culture of regular planning, and follow-through accountability. Tom also helped me to see the flip side of my pure loyalty-based promotion-from-within mindset, and that hiring experienced leaders externally will not only help me run my business better, it will also better serve the continuous learning and development of my existing team.”
