Les McKeown, The Synergist

What’s your role in the workplace? Are you the visionary, the operator or the processor – and who are you driving crazy by taking on that role?

I’d be happy to talk to Les McKeown anytime, but I’m especially excited to speak with him about his new book, The Synergist: How to Lead Your Team to Predictable Success. Les has started 42 businesses, and now he advises business owners about how to create successful teams and businesses.

In the book, Les shares a behavioral model to understand the three main roles people play in teams (and their personal lives) and how you can create stability and success by understanding those patterns.

We chat about The Synergist and:

• How Les’ book and workshop have saved my marriage to my wife/business partner
• The three roles in business — the visionary, the operator, and the processor – and the frustrations they encounter working together
• Why certain teams will encounter gridlock and the “secret sauce” to move beyond it

You can find info about more about Les and his books at www.predictablesuccess.com.
