MSMP 43: Jason Long on Goal Alignment and People Management

Goal Alignment and People Management to be complimentary involves laying out the business goals and figuring out top-down what needs to be done on a team/individual level to get there. At the same time, this the same idea also involves complementing what each person’s personal goals are. This mix of insights separates good from great.  Joining me in today’s episode of Mads Singers Management Podcast is the CEO and Founder of Tangent Solutions, JH Media Group, BrainLeaf, and Sensible Surveys, Jason Long.  Jason Long is an entrepreneur with 20 years of experience in business building. His businesses include Tangent Solutions, which owns a portfolio of software services, product services, and outsourcing companies.  Likewise, he also owns JH Media Group, which is a Saas Consulting Company.  In the course of his business growth, Jason has had ups and downs, but, he paved his way through it by learning through it. One of which made a significant impact on his views about recruitment.  On the same note, Jason also subscribes to the view that effective management from the top level is all about having the right people on board. Otherwise, disaster may most likely strike.  Jason does not put a person’s ability in a “box” but pushes the new hire around based on the potential he saw, which could eventually fire all cylinders.
