"Everyone needs someone to hold them accountable, someone to be straight with them. When you’re an owner, staff members will often filter remarks when you actually need their opinions in order to make better decisions. I rely on Jim Kimberly to be brutally honest and tell me what he thinks. He uses his knowledge of what works in organizations of different sizes and helps me understand what’s at the root of the issues, offers solutions and assists with implementation of initiatives.”
