CORPORATE <strong>MESSAGE</strong><br />
Moving the Right People to the Right Seats!<br />
MIKE LARKINS<br />
President, <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong><br />
CRAIG CASE<br />
Exec VP Field Development<br />
& Strategy<br />
At the <strong>Max</strong> Imagine Convention last September, Mike Larkins told of<br />
meeting with Jim Collins, author of Good to Great. Collins shared a quaint<br />
expression for staffing a corporate team. As Mike phrased it, “You need to<br />
get the right people in the right seats on your bus. They must all share the<br />
same chemistry and values.” <strong>Max</strong> is known for having the right people on<br />
its executive bus!<br />
As of November 15, 2008, a <strong>Max</strong> corporate realignment shifted some seats<br />
on the bus putting the right people in the right place.<br />
First, one seat that did not change, Peter Nordberg continues to serve as<br />
Chief Executive <strong>Office</strong>r for <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong>.<br />
Mike Larkins, who headed up <strong>Max</strong>’s international division, is assuming the<br />
role of <strong>Max</strong> <strong>International</strong> President. “We are repositioning, covering our<br />
bases as we prepare for the next stage of taking this company to the<br />
highest levels,” Mike said.<br />
Craig Case will now serve as Executive Vice President of Field Development<br />
and Strategy. Craig will work with the field in identifying and teaching the<br />
characteristics of successful Associates. “There are things that successful<br />
people do that should be taught to others,” Craig stated. Craig’s tremendous<br />
motivational and training gifts will energize Associates wherever he<br />
travels.<br />
Mike brings a depth of corporate experience and a unique ability to bring<br />
people together, optimizing their strengths and talents. Mike has remarked<br />
that we now have even stronger management.<br />
<strong>Max</strong> Associates can be sure that a more powerful team is now in place to grow this company in a significant<br />
manner. We always had the right team. Now they are in the seats best suited to their talents.<br />
With best wishes for a happy holiday,<br />
The <strong>Max</strong> Executive Team<br />
