This CEO says . . . “Joe is one of those rare business leaders who hears better than he talks but he talks great. He is a brilliant listener and so the value of his few words are exponentially brilliant. It's hard to find people anymore with the ability to absorb a business case to a point that their response can be actioned immediately and value driven as a result.

People I respect also respect Joe and I am glad to have had the chance to work with him. He is a secret weapon in my knowledge war chest with specific application around business issues and marketing strategy.”M. Mayeux, CEO

Entrepreneurship and today’s markets*

are growing!• Your better choice is to engage talent

without paying bloated overhead.• When you invest in me, you get more

than you need, not waste and misuse.• The gig economy* is a real force in

business.• *The gig economy means temporary

positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements. The trend toward a gig economy has begun. A study by Intuit predicts that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers will be independent contractors.

Unintended gaps . . .

• Don’t fall into the full-time hire abyss.• Turnover kills productivity and

knowledge leaves.• Seasoned talent delivers more

than just skill sets.• Why pay millennials and Gen

Xers for their personal social media time. That’s a “no, no!”
