Managing by the Numbers-Without Over Managing
  1. In our people-driven industry it is critical that we have a passion to do good things for kids. On the other side of the coin, it is also critical that we have some sort of ‘financial driver’ if we are to be a viable business, long term. Join us for a discussion about how to incorporate financial goals without creating that corporate, numbers-driven environment that is so universally hated by employees.
