“While I had never fished in my life, I found the experience showed me a lot about managing people and better ways to focus my actions on my goals. We succeeded in catching fish, and I also learned a lot about my leadership style.” Tom Werly, Division Controller of International Steel Group

“Your point of there not being a “one-size-fits-all” approach was well illustrated through your analogy of fish and fishing. The fact that, as a fisher must change the way he/she selects and uses fishing equipment on the basis of the type of fish, so should marketing strategies be developed on the basis of customer type/segment. It’s a simple, yet impacting way to make the point…well done!” Beth Sorah, Manager- Systems Analysis
After the new insight is learned, the work is done, the last market obstacle has been overcome and the results are accounted for, Synection can help you arrange some quality time for R&R with family, business associates or your outdoor buddies to recharge your batteries and inspire your drive.
When the seas are calm,
all ships alike show mastery of floating.”
