How Do You Create a Best Place to Work?

Robert Glazer is a member of EO Boston and the CEO of Acceleration Partners, a leading independent affiliate management agency with 160 employees.

The company was honored with Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award, recognizing the Best Places to Work in 2019. The Employees’ Choice Awards program relies solely on the input of employees, who elect to provide feedback on their jobs, work environments and companies via Glassdoor.

We recently asked Bob Glazer about the award and what contributes to making a “Best Place to Work.”

What is most striking about the Glassdoor acknowledgment is that it comes from employees. Can you tell us what it means to you?

We love hearing from our employees and really value their feedback which makes this acknowledgment all the more special. This honor affirms the company culture we’ve created and is made possible by our team that works day in and day out to make Acceleration Partners an amazing place to work.

Assess Your Team to Effectively Implement Change

By Kevin Bonfield, founder and managing partner at Concentre and a member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization in Dallas, Texas.

Your leadership team is truly the driving force of any change you want to bring to your organization. Leading change, thus, requires knowing how to get your executive team and managers on board.

It’s easy to underestimate the number of changes that will happen to our leadership or executive team when we begin a transformation journey. When it comes to implementing major change I often see over half the leadership team turnover during the next two to three years.

So, if we know that there are going to be changes, how can we take a proactive view of getting the right people in the right seat? This is the first step towards building the team you need to be successful. (more…)

Can a Week in the Desert Make You a Better Entrepreneur?

Every year, a group of EO members convenes in northwest Nevada, USA, at dEOxidized, one of the hundreds of theme camps at Burning Man. For the uninitiated, Burning Man—a temporary, pop-up community of 70,000 people with a commitment to decommodification and gifting—may seem like the antithesis of typical entrepreneurial pursuits.

These EO “Burners,” as Burning Man attendees are called, run the dEOxidized camp as a lounge featuring talks and classes during the day and an open bar and DJ in the evening. Sound familiar? (more…)
