Bruce McCully: Growing 43% in the Next Year

Bruce offering the flexibility of his consultants working at home gives Dynamic Edge a competitive advantage in the workplace. The reason is because he relieves employees from the pressure and distractions of working side by side in a cubicle type environment. The cost savings achieved by reducing overhead, by way of eliminating the need for extra space, keeping sustained utility bills, and better employees attitude offered by the flexibility of working from home will help Bruce achieve his goal of a 43% increase in the next year. Bruce handling so many employees has become cumbersome and time consuming, therefore his plan to implement teams, is a good choice and one that many entrepreneurs are not comfortable with and often times fail because they are not willing to do this. Dynamic edge is able to keep constant and clear communication through use of the Internet using IM, and voice over IP, this eliminates the loss of 12% of productivity that average businesses lose in the course of a day. Breaking the current network of employees into teams of 5-7 people will allow Bruce to concentrate more on the central operations of the business, which will help achieve his growth goals for Dynamic Edge. Bruce will essentially be managing 6 people, which will allow Bruce to spend more time with each team leader. My only question about this is if you have a plan in case a team leader leaves the company, or becomes sick? Do they have assistants that are up to speed on the rest of the managing functions of the team and can step in, in a moments notice? Also does letting employees have so much freedom working from home ever worry you that they will split off with their entire team and become your competition?

Great Interview Bruce,I really like your idea of having employees work from their home, I think people are more productive knowing the fact that their schedule flexible and not have to report directly to the CEO but their manager.By doing this Bruce and the employees will reduce their daily cost operation and be able to invest those saving on other research and development fields, and hire more staff which will improve the companies services and build reliable foundation. Bruce has a brilliant idea to hire more staff and make their schedule flexible,I think that will improve costumer satisfaction which is the key to be successful in todays high competitive market. By having employees do work from home? Will they have only in house services or on job locations? Great Job Bruce! Gazmend Dervishaj

Bruce seems to have a great vision for the direction he would like Dynamic Edge to go. The idea of a strategic planning meeting every year is impressive. The brainstorming allows the employees of Dynamic Edge to voice their questions, comments and concerns. This boosts employee equity and makes them feel apart of the team. I think that the idea of having the consultants work from home is great. This allows for a more effective and effcient response to customers. Also by working from home this will cut cost for the company by reducing overhead costs. The employees can work more flexiable hours and it gives them the opportunity to spend more time with their families. Anything that will benefit the customer, employee's and the company is a win-win situation. In regards to the company in the next year Bruce's goal is to go from a staff of 35 to 50 and grow his customer base by 50%. Also, Bruce plans to divide his employees up in teams and have them report to a team leader who in turn will report to him. So far they are trying this process out with one group to see how it works. In the event that something doesn't go as planned Bruce is open to restructuring ideas. I think a successful leader is one that is open to the ideas of others and is willing to make adjustments when things don't go as planned. I would like to know what was the original vision of Dynamic Edge and has that vision been reached yet?
