In a recent Total Picture Radio podcast, Bob Prosen, President and CEO of The Prosen Center for Business Advancement, reveals the employee retention dilemma and accountability issues companies large and small are struggling with, and how to solve them.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 21, 2007 -- According to Bob Prosen, "the mission of The Prosen Center is to help business leaders rapidly increase performance, productivity and profits." Not one to embellish ideas or thoughts, Prosen is the author of the best-selling, multi award winning business book, Kiss Theory Good Bye, published in 2006.
Prosen recently recorded an interview with Peter Clayton, host of the popular online career radio show, Total Picture Radio. The former Fortune 100 executive discussed with Clayton "proven tools and techniques" he has developed for becoming a high-performance leader. With more than 25 years of global business experience, the Dallas, Texas-based leadership expert likes to cut through "theory, speculation and hype" and "deliver bottom-line results." In fact, in doing research for the interview, Clayton found the primary reaction to Bob Prosen's workshops and his book was: "I can put what I've learned to use immediately." Clayton discovered this very consistent reaction to Kiss Theory Good Bye, from reader's reviews of his book on Amazon.com, and the testimonials on the author's web site from participants in his workshops.
Prosen calls his results-driven process "The Five Attributes of Highly Profitable Companies." These attributes frame his workshops, serve as the section titles of his book and guide the discussion of the Total Picture Radio interview.
A good deal of Bob Prosen's time is spent on the road, leading workshops for clients such as AT&T, Merrill Lynch, ARAMARK, NCR, Hitachi, Verizon, Nortel Networks, and public school districts.. Asked by Clayton what the "first question executives attending his workshops ask," Prosen immediately replied, "The number one problem today is finding and retaining top talent. That seems to be the biggest challenge out there, followed closely by the need to increase accountability and alignment."
"This is a wonderful time to be in the job market ..." - Bob Prosen.
Following up on the talent retention issue, Prosen added, "The new generation coming into the workforce really care a whole lot about work-life balance, they love technology and want to be challenged in that area… they want to be engaged, they want to be communicated with, they want to know what's going on, and they want to have fun and be involved." Prosen believes that to be able to attract top talent, organizations will have to adapt their culture and their business processes to embrace the expectations and demands of Gen Y's high performers.
In a Total Picture Radio interview highlight, Bob zeros-in on strategies for using Kiss Theory Good Bye as a road map for career transition, for producing results, and getting ahead.
So what are the Five Attributes of Highly Profitable Companies that Bob Prosen teaches? Superior Leadership, Sales Effectiveness, Operational Excellence Financial Management and Customer Loyalty. After he recited the list of attributes, Clayton responded, "easer said than done, right?"
"At The Beginning Of The Day, It's All About Possibilities. At The End Of The Day, It's All About Results." -Bob Prosen
