Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Leveraging Fractional Executives to Set your Business on Fire with Eric Torigian
[1:39] – Eric shares something he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- He believes you must be ready to fully commit yourself, take risks, and take action to make things happen.
[2:40] – Is it true that entrepreneurs often feel like they have to go through the challenges of running their businesses alone?

- Eric’s true essence lies in being a salesperson. In the early stages of his career, he received training from a highly traditional Dale Carnegie sales expert.

- If you can master this skill, it forms the basis of effective leadership and drives everything you do in the business world.
- Instead of being the one who delivers solutions, Eric believes in guiding and supporting individuals on their journey toward solving their problems.
[5:17] – How do you evaluate your team correctly, and what is the process of becoming a thriving team?
- Eric had a significant learning experience, having been a team player for over 30 years and leading HR transformations for a long time.
- He has discovered, backed by data from mid-sized companies, private equity firms, and large corporations, that the most crucial factor driving performance in any organization is the effectiveness of its leadership.
- This insight has motivated Eric to create the “leadership maturity model.”
- With this model, you can conduct an assessment that consists of nine different aspects, each with ten levels.
