This week’s guest brings a ton of experience in taking more from the market. Michael Barton of Avery Dennison shares his process for achieving stretch goals, which includes three major tenets.

Second, he believes that you must be even-handed with your team. If you are transparent with your dealings, your team will buy in quicker, but your company must show increased support for initiatives. Third, you must deal with facts. You can’t be about emotion. You must see accountability over time to ensure predictability. By following these guidelines, Michael has been able to take what the market gives… and then some.
