Lee Froscheiser "The Vital Factors" Interview with Lee Froschheiser, President and CEO, MAP & Co-Author, "Vital Factors"

Q: Why, after helping over 13,000 companies, from creative startups to mom and pop business to major corporations, is your company now revealing the highly proprietary secrets for taking any business to the next level?

A: Our primary reason for writing a book and revealing our secrets is really quite simple. First of all, MAP works. We've been in business for 49 years and we have helped more than 13,000 companies transform their operations and achieve their goals. Nonetheless, we are often referred to as the "best-kept secret in business consulting." Through the book, we could share our experience and wisdom with businessmen and entrepreneurs who are in need of MAP's concrete, practical System for ManagementTM and personal growth. In sum, we wanted to share our wealth of experience with readers and business people across America and beyond.

Q: Vital Factors highlights several MAP clients that have experienced phenomenal growth as a result of your professional guidance. Which story sticks out the most and why?

A: Every story has something special in it. And I think readers will be excited by the wide variety of people and subjects we feature: men, women, big corporations, small creative start-ups, non-profit organizations, even city governments. The MAP experience often extends far beyond the office. As our readers will discover, we tell many stories of men and women who used the MAP SystemTM to improve their marriages, their parenting, their financial management and the overall way they plan their lives. There are some very compelling stories about immigrants who came to America and with MAP were able to fulfill their dreams. I'm thinking of a Cuban refugee named Bill de la Vina and a Vietnamese refugee named Katherine Le. They have amazing stories to share, and I think readers will understand why, in writing this, we always felt that we had front-row seats at The American Dream.

 

 

 

 

Praise For Vital Factors

"The bulk of the book is devoted to richly reported case studies involving MAP clients at companies such as Wells Fargo, Cold Stone Creamery and Insomniac Games. Illuminating their management system's inner workings, the authors demonstrate, at a personal level, how their clients have leveraged the power of Vital Factors into real results; lessons learned are bolstered by bullet-pointed 'Bottom Line' summaries at the end of each chapter."

Publisher's Weekly


"The best format for an improve-your-business type book is to include many case stories, a format followed here, allowing the concepts of MAP to speak personally to the reader."

Booklist


"When I first became CEO I was inundated with constant interruptions and distractions. Then I discovered the MAP process. MAP forces you to focus on those core issues that drive an organization and eliminate the extraneous. Vital Factors shows the reader how to overcome these challenges through the stories of people who succeeded."

"Vital Factors brings to life the power of concrete concepts that create consistency and results. I entrenched myself in these MAP principles early in my career, and years later I used them to develop my leadership team and transform our organization."
