Our ValiantBridge program continues to gain momentum. The top staffing industry magazine “Staffing Industry” (www.staffingindustry.com) interviewed me last week. Editor Craig Johnson and I had a great discussion about the whole program. They wanted to know details about where the idea came from, the ideal prospect and who is in the program now. I provided him with a wealth of information about how it is ideal for staffing industry top achievers because they are the ones who when they have a large book of business, think about leaving their employer to start their own business. And no matter what company it is…. This rarely works and everyone looses – the person who leaves, their employer, the end client and the consultants. Why? Because in 99% of the cases their new venture is undercapitalized. I explained to Craig how we are basically incubating those who meet the requirements of the program and helping them build a solid foundation for when they are ready to go on their own. And I told him from our end we remain a part of their new entity so rather than everyone failing when a star employee is ready to start their own company we all win by sharing through the lifecycle.
