The Gevity Answer Book
Larry Fehd, CEO & Founder, HPS, Contributing Author
Gevity recently released a first-of-its-kind book representing a collection of ideas and recommendations for streamlining, optimizing and maximizing business performance from thought leaders in the global business environment. Larry Fehd, as a recognized international thought leader on organizational culture and business growth, was invited to participate as a contributing author to this publication.
A few quotations from the book representing Mr. Fehd's thoughts and contributions:
- "Leaders need to realize that 'the audience is listening' at all times. No matter what they
do, employees are observing everything", Fehd explains. "If leaders don't communicate
their intentions, employees are left to form their own opinions. And good intentions —
like opinions — do not always translate to business decisions and results."
- "Culture is like granite," Fehd says. "Once it is formed it becomes a huge mass. If leaders
are not deliberate about forming it correctly, then they often spend years and waste a lot
of time and money chipping away trying to get it right the second time. A company's culture
will, without proper direction and guidance, evolve randomly and often not optimally."
- "Great leaders invite creativity and innovation, they never try to force or impose it."
