Meeting Speaker - April 12, 2016
MR. LARRY MANDELBERG represents the 5th generation of his family’s business that began in the 1850’s selling hides and furs and evolved into an auto parts and machine shop business. Growing up in that environment he inherited his father’s curiosity for business and how they evolve.
Throughout his career Larry has dedicated himself to understanding what makes businesses fail. On April 12th, he’s going to talk to us about those findings which are the focus of his soon-to-be released book “Businesses Don’t Fail – They Commit Suicide” which describes how businesses self-destruct and what can be done to avoid it. He will share the three core problems that early, mid and late stage businesses all need to address to survive. He’ll also share the eight non-performance indicators every business leader needs to focus on.
