Success  Formula
Meaker & Associates helps you and your Organization to Build Capacity and Improve
Results through individual coaching and organizational alignment.

Our Success Formula

A (S+K) + Goals --> PBC =Improved Results 0/P
This “Formula for Success” demonstrates how Meaker & Associates helps people and organizations to
Achieve the Results they are seeking.

Improved Results (IR)

We begin by asking what actual improved results (IR) the executives want to achieve in the organization and
how that will be tracked and measured. Everything else we do to develop the participants is specifically
geared around achieving those business goals and results. We are seldom engaged to provide training for
the sake of training. The O and P in parentheses represent both the organizational goals, as well as,
personal goals. Our approach is to create a triple win for both the organization as well as the people in it.





By asking participants to analyze their own situation and performance both personally and professionally
and then set goals in the areas that are the most meaningful to them, organizational results typically
improve. That gives the firm the financial wherewithal to improve compensation, benefits, etc. Now the
participants have the financial resources to achieve even more of their own personal goals and objectives,
and that typically increases their motivation to become even better professionally. Continuous improvement
can be self-sustaining; it becomes a way of life at the organization.

Positive Behavior Change (PBC)

PBC represents positive behavior change. In order to achieve improved results your people will need to
behave differently?

Goals

If people had goals to focus their energy on, it would make it easier to change their behavior in a way that
can be sustained?

Skills + Knowledge (S+K)

S+K represent the skills needed (the how to do something) and the knowledge needed (the where and
when to do something).

One thing that we noticed over the years is that many, many organizations have sent their people to
various training courses in soft skills areas, without seeing any noticeable improvement in bottom line
results. This caused us to ask ourselves, “What’s missing?” From our perspective, the answer to that
question is the attitudinal component.

Attitudes (A)

The A stands for attitude (the want to). Our approach, Management by Commitment, is a result-oriented
philosophy that involves first developing a goal-oriented attitude among people within the company.
Attitude is more of a multiplier of skills and knowledge that will directly influence the goals they set and
achieve. They will directly determine in many cases whether they turn a problem into an opportunity, or
succumb to it; whether they behave in ways that benefit the entire organization or maintain fiefdoms;
whether they expand the client base and services provided or allow atrophy to set in; whether they diligently
look for continuous improvement, or remain satisfied with the status quo. Since this has proved so critical
to others’ success, we wanted to go further in our exploration.
