You may think that once you climb to the top of your organization, all your issues will go away…and that things will get easier…but that’s not exactly the case.Matt Foxhall chased his lifelong dream to become a Regional CEO before he turned forty. Great news! He realized that dream a few years ahead of schedule with Fortune 250 company.But, in his case, it certainly didn’t get easier. On his first day, one of his Vice Presidents walked into his office and quit. Within a few short days, he quickly realized his career dream was a toxic nightmare. Everywhere he turned, the business underperformed. There was  lack of systems, no vision, undisciplined hiring, and a total lack of accountability. This led his region to the absolute bottom of the company: 40th out of 40 regions. Dead last in performance.Over the next four years, Matt completely transformed the organization.  By focusing on quality hiring, culture, and strong values, his region skyrocketed from 40th to 20th to 10th to 4th. A truly meteoric rise.During the show, Matt will share: - The importance of vision and values in energizing your people- How disciplined hiring of “10s” transforms an organization- How deciding what game you’re playing impacts the decisions you    makeIf you’re looking to create a compelling company culture that outperforms, this is a can’t miss episode with Matt Foxhall.
