Challenge:
Core Products was anything but content when it came to protecting its market position and state of financial health. Changes to managed care, the threat of competition, and a series of costly acquisitions conspired to undermine Core’s growth.
Solution:
The Dale Carnegie Course’s public format and group training method helped prepare Core Products’ leaders to effectively handle change by engaging in a continuous 360-degree cycle of practice and feedback. Reconvening as a group, they were expected to share their collective experiences and provide one another with advice.
Results:
In the ten years since Core began training with Dale Carnegie, its sales have soared from $3 million to in excess of $12 million. Gains in individuals’ self-confidence have propelled innovation and leadership throughout the organization, and change is now accepted as an integral part of how Core does business.
