Build a Sustainable Business by Putting Yourself Out of Job

Our guest in this #PoisedforExit episode featured Leslie Holman, CEO of Pinnacle Performance Group. Leslie bought Pinnacle in 2012 and has since expanded into providing services that help owners execute their growth strategies. 

Leslie comes from a background in consulting and in Private Equity, which truly set her up for building the organization as she has. Her focus has been on creating an organization where people want to come to work and where she'd want to work herself. Acknowledging the humanity of her employees and her clients has been a driving force in helping them not just get through the pandemic, but thrive during it. 

Her future transition leans on emphasizing Culture and Values. Leaving a lasting legacy is the goal, whenever that day comes. She says that if you picture a heart and a dollar sign on the ends of a legal scale, she's OK with the heart weighing heavier than the dollar sign. In other words, if she spent more time on the personal side of things in her life because she was needed there, vs the business side, she's good with that and is good with her employees doing the same. A popular attractor these days for recruiting top talent.
