“Inventories can be managed, but people must be led” is one of my favorite business quotes from Texas Billionaire Ross Perot.

During a fifteen year career at a regional $5 billion retailer, I had advanced from an entry level professional to a senior director level position. After several years I had reached a plateau in my career. I engaged executive coach Lloyd Brotman from Periscope to help me transition to the next level.

Lloyd taught me the true meaning of that quote and helped me secure a promotion and smooth transition to that executive role. I couldn’t have done it without Lloyd’s encouragement, direction and support.
