[MUSIC PLAYING] MIKE LANCASTER: Frank L. Blum Construction Company is a commercial general contractor. We operate across the state of North Carolina. We build commercial buildings in health care, higher education, and senior living.
DREW HANCOCK: And while bricks and mortar are the end result of the services that we provide, the core of who we are and what we do really is to provide construction services on top of building the buildings.
MIKE LANCASTER: We have a unique leadership model to our organization that we spend some time defining. And then, that's really where the Leadership Institute entered, was helping us coach and fine-tune folks to be the kind of leaders that we needed them to be in our organization. They are practitioners. The people that you're dealing with have put the things that they're talking about into play within the organization.
I've been to several leadership training things. And the Mastering Leadership Dynamics was just very different. But it wasn't one size fits all. They really came in and listened and understood what we wanted to accomplish and brought the services that they had that meshed well with that to make it an exceptional program.
DREW HANCOCK: And it's not only investment in their careers, it's an investment in their lives. This is 24/7 kind of stuff-- being better at every aspect of their life and being more self-aware in every aspect of their life. And that's really, really rich. So if you're considering using the Leadership Institute, we highly recommend it. We run a better company because of our association with the Leadership Institute.
