" When Monroe Veterinary Associates (MVA) chose to utilize
VisionMakers', we were looking for assistance in leadership training and help
to clarify our vision, mission and values requiring a plan of action to
bring our vision to life throughout our fourteen hospitals.
VisionMakers' tailored the training, materials and support to our needs.
This was not a "canned" flavor of the month management series.
Since partnering with VisonMakers' we have seen marked improvements.
Our work with them is an ever evolving process allowing us to become more
introspective of our strengths and weaknesses and to better define who and
what we are as an organization "

workshops and the LPI feedback has allowed us to re-examine our
leadership styles and to assist each other in becoming better leaders."

effective leaders have a set of unique skills anyone can learn. Whether
you have one executive or an executive management team faced with change
and leadership challenges, VisionMakers’ works with your objectives in
mind to maximize your leader’s capabilities.

"I first realized how much our organization (MVA) has benefited from
our affiliation with VisionMakers' these past 2 years when I had a
recent conversation with a personal physician.
I shared how our business group was undertaking leadership training
with VisionMakers' and how many of us were a bit skeptical that this
type of training would make any significance in our day to day
operations with such issues as employee productivity, employee morale,
how to be a better leader, and, yes, even how these benefits would
improve our bottom line.
He commented on the similar problems his medical group struggles with
on an ongoing basis, including lack of accountability for one’s own
actions. That conversation underscored for me the significant
progress, growth and forward opportunities to further improve that
VisionMakers has provided for our practice."

Associates

Team Development
With the increasing pace and complexity of business today having a team with
high levels of trust and teamwork are vital for success. Based on our
assessment of your organization’s and team’s needs we tailor a session or
series to address the 1-1 work relationship skills needed as well as the
team development breakthroughs needed.
|
|
"VisionMakers' has given our practice team the tools to deal with
problems or challenges using an approach (process management) that has
empowered our staff and given them ownership in our veterinary hospital.
Staff morale and productivity have increased and speaking for myself as
hospital director it is heartening to see employees take more ownership
for issues in our growing practice."

Associates

Management
Development
In the best
organizations, the establishment of performance expectations and the
ongoing dialogue necessary to monitor performance is a shared
responsibility between manager and employee. However, in many
organizations, especially those affected by monumental change, this
process is difficult at best. VisionMakers’ Management Development
approach enables participants to manage the entire performance spectrum in
spite of change and with particular emphasis on the relationship between
the manager and employee. The result – a business process that
improves the productivity of your organization by aligning all employees
with the business strategy, clarifying expectations of performance,
monitoring progress and rewarding results.

VisionMakers brings a breadth of experience MVA has used to help our
staff develop leadership and management skills. Their flexibility and
customized approach were key to making this a partnership vs. just a
training program. VisionMakers' philosophy is one of commitment to
results, which we have already realized.
