GrowthReady Podcast with Steve Mellor

To invest in personal and cultural development as an organization is to invest in creating a competitive advantage, and yet it still remains an under utilized approach for so many.

A competitor in his own right, Michael ensures he is investing and pushing himself to expand his knowledge and performance abilities in order to best serve clients throughout the United States

A highly sought after trainer and speaker, Michael brings to the show a wide variety of content, along with diverse perspectives, that support the need for the work he offers and how they can provide a competitive advantage to a company in their respective industry.

Key insight that Michael offers in our discussion includes:

• The abundance of opportunity organizations have to invest in personnel
• The ability leaders have to treat employees fairly and not necessarily the same
• How an approach of "relentless incrementalism" can deliver lasting results 
• Why there is a competitive advantage to creating a "destination" to work
