Management Resources is dedicated to enabling the small to mid-sized, socially responsible business owner to better manage growth and change. Since 2002, Management Resources business & leadership coaches have helped business owners get the right things on and off their plates (to free them to do the work they wish they could get to) and the right team around them and performing well. Founder and senior coach Rob Lederer says, “The secret to growing your business is to give your work away,” and Management Resources shows business owners and leaders how to do it.
Management Resources became a Founding B Corporation to further affirm our commitment to the triple bottom line and our practice of incorporating values as well as value into how we do business. Becoming a B Corporation connects us with a community of our peers and allows us to contribute our weight to the B Corporation movement.
Management Resources has been the coaching partner to the LOHAS conference and Green Business Conference since 2008. Their clients have nearly 60 Inc. Magazine “Inc. 500” and “Inner City 100” awards as America's fastest growing businesses. Their team of leadership and business experts have more than 120 years experience helping socially responsible, fast-growth, and minority-owned businesses do well by doing good.
The Change We Seek®
Management Resources seeks to impact people's lives by improving their work lives and work-life balance as well as helping them be more fulfilled by creating an environment where they can bring their whole selves to work. We seek to maximize the positive effects of business by helping socially responsibly businesses run better as well as helping ‘standard' businesses become more focused on the triple bottom line.
