Detroit Business Consulting Raises Money for Susan G. Komen Foundation

Detroit Business Consulting celebrated breast cancer awareness month by hosting our Passionately Pink Week last week.  This is the second year that we have hosted Passionately Pink Week in our office. We went all out- the website was "pinked out" with our pink logo, breast cancer ribbons all over the website, and each page had a pink theme.  Everyone in the office wore pink on Thursday, and we all sported pink breast cancer bracelets.

Everyone at Detroit Business Consulting could show their support by wearing pink last week, but we also had another way to support the foundation.  Detroit Business Consulting's owner Michael Rosenberg announced on Monday that he would make a $20 donation to the Susan G. Komen Foundation each day for every person that hit their sales goals for the day.  Michael committed to making that donation for every person, every day last week.  Thanks to everyone for your support in making out Passionately Pink Week a success!

Detroit Business Consulting Golfs in Phoenix

The President of Detroit Business Consulting Michael Rosenberg is spending the weekend in Phoenix, AZ where he is enjoying some "work hard, play hard" activities.  He met up with other consultants from around the country for a fantasy football draft and some networking time.  Although the draft is tomorrow, the group met today for a game of golf, which will give them time to talk about the offices and future expansion.

 It's safe to say that Michael deserved some time on the golf course in beautiful Phoenix.  His company recently expanded to its 21st location and ranked second in the nation in sales for his company's telecom client. With the European expansion beginning at the end of this year, Detroit Business Consulting has some big goals to hit for the remainder of 2012!

Detroit Business Consulting Will Attend Super Bowl XLVII

It may only be preseason for the NFL, but our company already has plans to attend Super Bowl XLVII. Detroit Business Consulting owner Michael Rosenberg announced a competition earlier this week that will run from August 1st though December 31st for prime tickets to the Super Bowl! Four managers will be attending the event with Michael in New Orleans.  The competition is based on 4 aspects of the business that are key to the success of a company.  They encompass the growth, training and production of the companies. Weekly updates will be sent out as the competition progresses.  GOOD LUCK!

Detroit Business Consulting, Inc. Supports Algonac School

Detroit Business Consulting supported the Algonac athletic program last weekend at their fundraising event.  Four of the guys from our office played in the scramble on Saturday, which supported the Algonac football, volleyball and track teams.  Detroit Business Consulting sponsored the 14th hole and won a prize in the silent auction.  The guys had a great time participating in the scramble, and got involved in the event because John Vance, one of the Account Managers in the office, graduated from Algonac and participates in the event each year. 

We came away from the fundraising event with a few prizes; an Algonac High School football helmet, a plaque for being a Gold Sponsor, and other Algonac paraphernalia.  With how much fun these guys had last weekend, it's likely you'll see Detroit Business Consulting at the event next year.

4 Things Great Leaders Do Best

1. Serious time management. The most notable characteristic of transcendent leaders is their ability to be resolutely in the moment. Seemingly untroubled by overflowing inboxes, unhurried by over-scheduled calendars, not distracted by ever-growing to-do lists, the best leader seems to always have time for the task at hand.

2. Prioritization. Great leaders are highly focused, but they also focus resolutely on the right things. They're skilled at the art of triage; they can prioritize many demands, and always ensure they spend their limited time on those issues that are central to the enterprise's needs.

3. Crisis management. Even a strong leader can buckle in a crisis. Blindsided by the unexpected, it's easy to get caught up in the gravitational pull of a sudden emergency and lose sight--and control--of the rest of the organization's needs.

4. Delegation. Finally, the best leaders are masters of delegation.
Acutely aware of their own limitations, and driven by the knowledge that they can't possibly do everything they're asked, the transcendent leader entrusts tasks to others not by exception, but by default.

Detroit Business Consulting is at the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

Detroit Business Consulting owner Michael Rosenberg is currently in Los Angeles for business and pleasure.  The trip is twofold; he was at the Stanley Cup Playoffs last night and will be at the game tonight, and he is spending time learning and networking with other successful entrepreneurs. Since Mike played hockey at Georgia, it has been a long-time goal of his to see the Stanley Cup Playoffs live. Mike invited two other colleagues on the trip as a reward for them for their hard work.  While in L.A., the guys will be enjoying some intense hockey, but also visiting other sales and marketing firms that have been dominant in the industry. The trip encompasses a healthy mixture of fun and learning!
