Do you strive to be the best leader, visionary and mentor that you can be? As a Vistage Chair my message is that paradoxically, you and your business are at your strongest when vulnerable and accountable for change. My superpower is not in the perfect answers, but rather framing the important questions.I’m currently seeking ambitious, growth-oriented leaders with unwavering integrity to join my group that maxes out at 16. My CEO Group and my Key Employee Group is designed as a safe space for a diverse group of growth-oriented people to thrive in all aspects of their lives. If you’re looking for an innovative approach to becoming a better leader, connect with me here on LinkedIn or ✉️ Francine.lasky@gmail.com.

In an industry dominated by giants, I was responsible for making Scientific Device Laboratory different. I aligned our values to our strategic thinking. I was responsible to my executive team to ensure that every employee lived our values for every customer. Our values (which reflect my personal values) were:- PEOPLE FIRST - I do business with people and for people. I listen-first and favor one-to-one communication with a flexible, responsive attitude. Customers, vendors, and coworkers are family to me. I want to know who my customers are and what they need, so I can provide solutions tailored to those needs.- ACT LIKE AN OWNER - I know every customer and employee is crucial to SDL’s overall success. It is my duty to empower employees take responsibility and make hard decisions including knowing when to take on more and when to prioritize. I am always willing to be honest and accountable for successes as well as mistakes, rise to the occasion, and bet on my own and my employees' abilities- DO BETTER, BE BETTER - I am responsible for making sure good enough is not good enough. Quality is not just my end-goal, it is my everyday process. I am continuously challenging both myself and the status quo to find better solutions with measurable results.
