IEEE.TV INTERVIEW ON OFFICE OPTIONAL
Episode 5 of Jacquelyn Worx features guest Larry English. Larry is president and cofounder of Centric Consulting, a management consulting firm that guides people in the search for answers to complex digital, business and technology problems. Centric is a 1,000+ person company with offices in 12 US cities and India. Larry also recently published a book called “Office Optional” that explores how to build a connected culture with virtual teams.
LARRY ENGLISH SPEAKING ON CULTURE
When Larry and his cofounders first started Centric Consulting, all they knew was that they wanted a fun company that focused on work-life balance and employee happiness alongside client success. In this interview with First Merit Bank, Larry describes how culture became important to Centric Consulting, and how that company culture became Centric’s No. 1 reason for success.
It’s easy to forego culture in order to grow more quickly, gain new clients, or move faster in general. As Larry notes, however, foregoing culture to hire quickly breaks down your entire culture, and eventually, your business. This presentation highlights the importance of culture over speed, and how the right culture can not only attract new employees, but also new clients and continuous growth.
