The difference between the right word and almost the right word, said Mark Twain, is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. So also with choosing the right, not almost the right person. The right people in the right positions is crucial for building an outstanding organization.



Marriott Consulting was helping a client create a new manufacturing company. We assisted by designing a process of evaluating potential top executives, assessing those people applying for the top jobs and evaluating their fit. Finding the person with the right fit for the job can make the difference in any company, the difference between lightening and a bug!

“Lynn Johnson zeroed in on the strengths and the blind spots of key executive candidates in a very large project we ran. He helped us see vital issues clearly and gave us the tools to make a quality decision. I recommend him most highly.”
