Looking Back on 15 Years of Price Associates

This year Price Associates celebrated 15 years of serving customers and helping leaders grow and change their worlds. Founded by Ron Price in 2004, the company has grown and evolved as seasoned advisors joined the team—and brought their expertise to clients.

We sat down with Ron to talk about the early years and some of his favorite memories.

How did Price Associates start?
In January of 2004, Tim Eckstrom and I attended the TTI Success Insights Conference. We wanted to learn more about TTI, their assessment products, and to see if we identified with their people. At that conference, we were inspired to start the business. When we incorporated in March 2004, we thought it was going to be a coaching business. Of course, business coaching was not very common in the Treasure Valley in 2004. We quickly learned that people wanted much more from us: strategic planning, all things HR, leadership development, innovation, systems and process improvement, and more. We spent a lot of time in those early days listening to customers and developing solutions for their needs.

4 Ways Leaders Can Grow Their Influence At Work

By Ron Price & Stacy Ennis, HR.com, October 2019

Building influence and engagement through character, expertise and position 

One of the long-term challenges for leaders in the workplace is how many employees feel powerless. For many years, employee surveys around the world have measured levels of engagement as high as 70% or more. What creates levels of disengagement this high? Is it bad managers, as many experts claim? Many have heard the moniker, people leave bad managers, not bad companies. We believe this is overly simplistic. Instead, we can point to four different causes for employee disengagement. Read More

How to Lead When You Don’t Have a Title

By Ron Price

How many times have you encountered someone at an event and knew by their demeanor, the way they spoke, the way they interacted with others and how others responded to them, just by their very presence that they were a leader? Their leadership wasn’t forced, they weren’t the loudest person in the room, the one with the nicest suit or biggest title, but they just exuded leadership.

There are two types of influential leadership that are not based on position or title, at least at their most fundamental level. You have a lot of say over how much influence you develop in these two kinds of leadership.

The first one is character leadership, which is about who you are, how you manage yourself and how you treat others. This type of leadership is in direct proportion to how adept you have become in these areas.

Bill Horan talks to Ron Price, author of Growing Influence. Ron discusses why he asks “Do you feel like you are fulfilling what you are meant to do in life?” Plus, why many of us feel powerless at work, the definition of influence, why people who feel they have influence feel affirmed and highly engaged, and why we all spend too much time worrying about things we can’t control.

How to Navigate the New Hiring Landscape

By Ron Price

Hiring has become more important than ever. Today we are not simply filling a job, but instead asking people to balance complexity and deal with ever-present change. We are not only looking for someone who is going to fit into the job today, but also grow into additional roles in the future, due to the pace of change in the world.

Today’s workplace dynamic of low unemployment and increased worker mobility has resulted in employees who no longer feel loyalty to a company because companies are no longer loyal to them.

This changing landscape can seem like a threat to hiring, but I prefer to see it as an opportunity. It is a chance to hire in a new way.

How to Define Success in Any Job

By Ron Price

In my own experience as an executive, I sought to put as much power as possible into hands of those I supervised. I wanted them to “own” their jobs and to always know how to accurately evaluate their performance. Once I retired from corporate management and started supporting other leaders, I discovered they are equally interested in providing clarity to their subordinates and nurturing a higher level of accountability. This led to formalizing a process for defining and measuring executive performance.

We start by asking our clients, “What are the three to five key results that will reflect superior performance in a job?” They often answer, “if we’re making money or if we’re growing, that hits the mark”.
