Mills Properties, Inc. asks prospective tenants, “What inspires you to come home?” As CIRO/CMO, Al Ryan asks his team, “What inspires you to come to work?” Team members embrace their role as integral to the satisfaction of tenants, and the success of the business.
“I’d tell my younger self to join Vistage sooner,” Al says, when asked the keys to his success. “Whatever the challenge, a group of CEOs to process your issues and provide actionable feedback makes solving it quicker and easier.”
Al’s tips to leverage the support of your group:
- Trust the process (Identify root cause, clarify, brainstorm.)
- Be transparent. Time is money.
- Recognize your problems ARE yours, but AREN’T unique.
- Expect 100% confidentiality.
