Creating the Perfect Company

"We live in a world of Incentives and Disincentives."

And if we are intelligent, we can solve most of our organizations problems and frustrations by aligning our compensation systems with the results we want to achieve. In MVI's measurements, NO ORGANIZATION HAS EVER ACHIEVED AND MAINTAINED WORLD-CLASS QUALITY AND ECONOMICS WITHOUT ADDRESSING THEIR COMPENSATION SYSTEMS.

In this powerful opening to a 4-part series, Andrew Reed explores the most misunderstood aspects in creating a World-Class organization: Compensation. Drawing on over three decades of strategic consulting and firsthand experience with high-performing, award-winning companies, Andrew dissects how Compensation shapes human behavior, and ultimately builds or breaks the quality of an organization.

Learn how most organizations unconsciously reward mediocrity while expecting greatness (and are thus frustrated).

Remember, Compensation is not just defined in terms of money, as the environment, as well as how to live life well, are perhaps even more important!

"Compensation is not just economics. It’s a moral issue. It’s a spiritual issue."

This episode completes the 2nd process, People Selection, and continues a dive into the remaining 2 processes of a World-Class People System, 3) People Development and 4) People Retention.

A company’s Quality is “no more or less” than the Quality of its People Systems. The processes in these systems dictate exactly the Quality of the organization’s products and services. Most organizations only use methods and practices of the 50th percentile…that is….mediocre and average. And wonder why this is so and are often frustrated that they are still get regular complaints, have screw-ups, service failure and an overall loss of reputation/value of the enterprise.   

This episode draws on the professional insights from the organizational experts at Multi-View Incorporated and assembles the Best-Known Success Patterns/Practices in this CORE area of FOCUS for any World-Class enterprise. Based on over 27 years of experience with more than 1,300 organizations, this message will inspire and help give the listener a VISION of how to create such a People System.

The 4 Processes in a World-Class People System:

1. People Attraction
2. People Selection
3. People Development
4. People Retention

Every company says, “People are our greatest asset”…BUT…most have very little insight how to actually find, select, and develop employees, let alone, retain them!  Otherwise, the turnover of employees would be a nonissue as it RARELY would happen and quality would be measured in terms of  “thousands of interactions” without a single screw up or complaint. 

In this episode, Andrew Reed breaks open the blueprint for building a People System that actually functions—where the ability to attract talented employees normally increases 200-500%… and where the Talent Selection process leaves only “fertile” ground to till to grow human potential rather than investing ENORMOUS time and money into people who will NEVER work out in your culture. You’ll hear how most companies rely on borrowed language, vague HR strategies, or unverified “best practices”—and why this leads to mediocrity at best, disaster at worst.

Andrew covers 2 of the 4 processes that are part of the intelligent design of People Systems:

1. Talent Attraction
2. Talent Selection
3. Talent Development
4. Talent Retention

This is something to STUDY and not just listen.

“Measurement and accountability aren’t micromanagement. They’re the path to mastery.”

In this “DYNAMIC” episode, Andrew Reed, speaking to hundreds of CEOs and Senior Executives in a national broadcast, makes a compelling case: Your Company’s Quality is No More or Less than the Quality of your People Development System!  Hard-earned lessons, through blood experience and insights, are shared as Andrew INTRODUCES the utterly important of this topic that 90% of companies MISS and thus become average, mediocre - the 50th percentile.

Background: Take it from experience… MVI goes THOUSANDS of phone interactions and averages 2 ½ YEARS without a single call not answered within 3 rings by a competent, intelligent person. Or how MVI goes more than 8 months between even a single service failure or complaint from a client. There is zero BS here! This all comes from FOCUS, something any organization can do if it truly wants to, on a creating a  “culture” super-soaked in High Standards fused with DEEP Meaning & Purpose and PROFOUND emphasis on teaching Accountability – and how it is LIFE-CHANGING!

This podcast is the Beginning of this journey! And as the Beatles sang… We all need or could benefit “With a little bit of help from our Friends!”

“All topics are infinite… the only path to true excellence is through the development of human beings.”

Recorded in the Japan House overlooking the middle pond in the Awakened Forest with a group of CEOs and Chief Educational Officers, Andrew Reed merely “scratches” the surface of MVI’s meticulous work on Extraordinary People Development Systems, explaining “The 3 Questions” used to start meetings to help create a mature, healthy and life-changing culture!  People Development is Profound and Transformational! Reed references  Workbook #13 (1 of 20 manuals), a 722-page comprehensive manual, that goes DEEP into this #1 Strategic Area.

ALL OF YOUR QUALITY WILL COME FROM THE QUALITY OF YOUR PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS, NO MORE, NO LESS… Most companies are DELUSIONAL about their level of quality.

“The truth about quality is that an organization can have no more or less quality than the quality of its people development system.”

In this fourth and final installment, Andrew Reed talks about Standardization, how to run Meetings, and also covers a lot of way to view Leadership to make it better(or easier!). 

This isn’t a motivational pep talk. It’s the final reality check in a series that dismantles surface-level Leadership theory. Reed pulls no punches as he describes the emotional isolation, the burden of clarity, and the cost of consistency. If you want to build something that actually works — and lasts — this is the kind of leadership you’ll need.

“You're pressing them to go beyond their normal comfort zones. And that in doing that, they're going to have a better life. And they're going to realize how strong they are.”

“Leadership isn’t about control — it’s about creating the 'Conditions for Success'.”

In this third installment, Andrew Reed goes into the Burden of Leadership, the aspects of Leadership that are unconsidered with pedestrian views of the topic. Reed strips away the polish and dives into REALITY. It’s not about charisma or command — it’s about clarity, Standards, and the willingness to do what others won’t.

Whether you're building a company or leading a team, this episode is a practical and deeply human reminder that real Leadership is built in the hard and difficult times — through hard decisions, Accountability, and seeing what others don't.

In Part 2 of this powerful series on leadership, Andrew Reed turns the spotlight on the Seldom Spoken Aspects of Leadership — the stuff you won't find in standard training manuals. From the illusion of control to the pursuit of self-mastery, this episode dives deep into the emotional, psychological, and spiritual strength required to truly lead. Drawing from decades of REAL-WORLD experience, Andrew challenges leaders to stop managing outcomes and start cultivating "conditions for success". 

With themes ranging from emotional regulation to visionary clarity, this session reveals how Leadership is less about command and more about character. It’s about modeling excellence, inspiring trust, managing energy, and creating a standard-driven culture. Reed’s message is clear: you can’t ask others to grow unless you’re willing to evolve first.

If Part 1 was a wake-up call, Part 2 is a guide for building internal strength and external systems that reinforce real results.

In the first installment of this four-part series, Andrew Reed strips leadership down to its raw, unsanitized truth.

This episode unpacks the intangible — and essential — traits that separate true Leadership from title-holding. From overcoming imposter syndrome to demanding Accountability, from recognizing Intelligence to assessing real readiness, it’s a no-fluff guide for those called to lead. If you’re in a Leadership role — or preparing to become one — this message is both a wake-up call and a toolkit.

VISION!!! Often seen as “squishy” -  a waste of time, especially if you’ve sat through “Vision Statement Creating” meetings. However, Vision is, in fact, one of the most VALUABLE things a person, as well as an organization, can make! Why? A great Vision can change your LIFE! Literally! It seems that Human beings need a “Bright Horizon” to look forward to! Without a Life-Giving Vision, people perish!

In this episode, Andrew Reed dives into one of the most misunderstood — yet essential — elements of building a great organization: Vision. Far from being corporate fluff or an exercise in branding, Vision is described here as the foundational force that creates FOCUS. Without it, individuals lose direction, teams lose energy, and entire companies drift. 

Broadcasting from a mountaintop in the Awakened Forest, Andrew shares how a compelling vision transforms not only organizations, but people. It sharpens decision-making, boosts morale, and fosters the kind of culture that outperforms competitors. From startups to M&A transitions, this episode explains how Vision informs Design, Culture, Leadership Development, Compensation, and Accountability — and how to build one that actually motivates real advancement.

(01:09) – The Power of Focus

Vision often demands risk — clarity comes only after action.

(17:03) – The Studio That Started With a Vision
A personal story of grief, insight, and an improbable success.

(19:47) – Vision at Every Level of an Organization
Departmental, site, and team-level vision matters just as much as company-wide purpose.

Why 75% of acquisitions fail — and how vision flips that script.

(26:50) – Culture, Empowerment & Spiritual DNA
How MultiView’s vision-centered model transforms organizations from the inside out.

Committees kill clarity — vision must be owned and accountable.

From recruiting to measurement: design backward from the outcome.

(36:55) – Accountability & Quantification
Vision is empty without standards, data, and meaningful consequences.
