Makarios Consulting worked previously with Ultra Hardware in the spring of 2007, leading a group of senior managers through the Makarios “Completer Leader” series, a proprietary leadership program developed by Makarios Consulting. With the current deal, Makarios will lead a second management group through the “Complete Leader” and will continue leadership development training for the organization with an emphasis on self-awareness and practical leadership tools.

“Cultivating effective leaders is an organizational priority for Ultra Hardware and our management team saw immediate, marked improvement in leadership style upon completion of the Makarios ‘Complete Leader’ series,” said Daniel Carpey, president of Ultra Hardware. “We’re confident that our continued affiliation with Makarios will help us build a solid pipeline of qualified leaders with whom we can plan the future of the business.”

“Leadership development is becoming a critical component of success in the manufacturing industry as the field becomes more competitive,” said Tim Thomas, president of Makarios Consulting. “Ultra Hardware knows that effective leadership means increased productivity and getting a product to market quicker. We’re pleased to help them achieve these actionable goals with a customized ‘Complete Leader’ series,” Thomas concluded.
