Entrepreneurialism Q&A   

Barry LaBov
Founder, CEO

Cathy Schannen
VP, Director of Accounts

Why do you think your brand of entrepreneurialism is important to clients? Our clients are brilliant, some of them I believe are geniuses. But often, they are so close to what they’re doing, that they need a trusted, fresh insight. We say it often, but that insight, along with the energy we bring to it, will invigorate the enterprise and help it achieve beyond expectations.

Is there ever tension or discomfort with LABOV’s entrepreneurial approach? Sure, but that’s to be expected and it also means we’re doing something or going somewhere that is new, uncharted. That discomfort usually means we are on track to do something special.

Can you describe a client who looks for this? A person who has numerous, high-level responsibilities and a small staff, yet is expected to achieve great things.

What’s the key to bringing entrepreneurial spirit to a company? Transparency. No one has all the answers or is perfect, so the best thing to do is be open about what the issues are, where things fell short last time and how we can help each other as a team succeed. You have to take a chance, but it’s worth it.
