"Lee helped me re-build the broken leadership team of our $750MM North
American stores business into a highly functional unit, then implemented an extensive recruitment and training program that she created from scratch for our 100 regional VP's/managers, 500+ store managers and 2500 store associates.

We started to see the benefits of Lee's contribution the moment we brought her on board. She was a pleasure to work with, and the depth of her experience and the wisdom of her counsel were quickly felt.

Lee was instrumental in creating and implementing a program to upgrade our talent base, from Vice Presidents to Store Associates. The resultant
20-60-20 system established clear performance standards, rewarded the top 20%, motivated and assisted the middle 60% to improve, and changed out the bottom 20% for the benefit of all concerned.

I'd just bought into the toughest assignment of my 25 year career, and Lee was the first person I hired to help me turnaround our $600MM+ USA stores business. From day one she proved to be exactly the business partner, counselor and coach I needed - helping me make the hard decisions and lightening my load. Lee has a wealth of experience and she used it to great effect for the benefit of our business."

"The Nielsen Group has provided my business with many valuable services. RDM Property Maintenance LLC is a small, start-up business (2 years old). One partner had no previous management experience. Now that he is a part owner of a new business in the role of Vice President. We needed executive development and quickly.

Lee put together a plan that gave credibility to the skills we were trying to develop in my business partner. Additionally, she worked one on one with this “New Manager” to help him manage through his dramatically changed role.

This contributed greatly to the success of our business and to my business partner’s understanding of his new role. My partner now has the tools he needs to not only succeed, but excel."

"We had many notable achievements together. But the most significant contribution was that Lee was immensely helpful in my own development and with advice in working with our investors.  Now I am much more capable to sit in the CEO chair. I am more professional in the management of my team and in dealing with private equity investors..."
