The number one challenge expressed at the most recent ARGENTUM Conference was people. In particular community managers and operational leadership.
Think about it. There are just not enough high impact leaders to go around. As a result, communities underperform and returns on investments lag. Now in a more competitive market, with demand not projected to crank-up for between 3 to 5 years, simply “having” a community no longer is a path to success.
The solution is obvious. We have to better understand what causes a high impact leader to be one. The alternative is to wait and hope for an experienced, high performing manager to come our way. And will you even recognize one? Few management hires produce the positive impact you need. The other option is to keep the underperforming managers in place. There are lots of those to go around.
So what causes a person to be highly successful in an operational role from Executive Director to COO?
We really would enjoy your input. We have our answers and would like to hear yours. Once we have them we can then help identify the success characteristics we should all be on the look-out for, regardless of background and experience.

(Richmond, VA) February 8, 2017 – Terri Kubicki and The TRG Sales & Marketing team are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of a Business Development Manager search for a manufacturer of films and foils in the pharmaceutical industry.
As a result of growth, we partnered with our client to identify a Business Development Manager that could add to their growth and become a part of their succession planning. Due to our previous success with our client and their desire to promote this person to a Director of Sales as part of their succession planning, we were engaged on a retained basis to fill this very critical role.
With our extensive network in the packaging industry we were able to complete a thorough search within two months. Our client has added a Business Development Manager with deep connections in the industry who needed very little training to hit the ground running. Since joining the team, sales have already increased as a result of the knowledge this person brought and the connections within the industry he has made for his new company.
