Strategies Now, Inc.
Terry’s goal with Strategies Now, Inc. is to help business leaders develop and implement their vision for their company, especially if the goal is to foster growth initiatives and achieve philanthropic results. For Terry Newmyer, he employs the Tipping Point Business Model not only with Strategies Now but in his entire professional life.
The Tipping Point
At Strategies Now, Inc, Terry Newmyer employs the “The Tipping Point Business Model” to aid his future successes. Integrating board members, campaign volunteers, and institutional partners, The Tipping Point’s well-defined business model helped blend separate offices into integrated teams. Internalizing the research of Malcolm Gladwell, Terry believes there are no solo blockbusters, and our most significant work can be best accomplished with leadership from at least three personalities. Whether securing a mega gift for charity or working to negotiate a breakthrough business plan, Terry Newmyer believes the model applies. To Terry, teams required to conduct blockbuster work should include a connector, a maven, and a closer.
The connector is most happy to spend time with an old friend or get acquainted with a new one. Maven is a Yiddish term for one with great wisdom, and they are the experts on the assignments. Finally, the closer is passionate about implementing, driven to get a new contract or reach specific performance standards. When each of these three roles is present, with a single focused goal, great results are sure to follow.
According to Gladwell, we all need to engage at times in all three of the functions outlined, but he says one of these three functions is most playful and one is more like work. It is Gladwell’s finding that the more often you emphasize the function that is playful and rely on other’s to help with the function that is most like work the more satisfying and successful you and your team will be. Further, as a team commits to this formula, there is a bond formed that engages healthy dependence and collaboration. The dynamic formed produces leverage and unexpected levels of achievement.
