The ability of the staff and executive team to work together  as an effective team was greatly enhanced through the process.  Through Tadd's guidance, staff turnover was diminished as the President was making "smart hires", communicating well with the staff, and creating a culture that was fun and rewarding. Based on my experience, I can highly recommend Tadd Owens' services.
