What others say about working with Gershon Mader & Quantum Performance Inc
I engaged Gershon in to help raise the performance of the EMEA region at Ciena shortly after the acquisition of Nortel’s MEN division.
Our challenge was to integrate two organizations with different cultures and create a positive, cohesive mindset whilst dealing with complex workforce reductions across multiple European countries.
Gershon worked with us for over a year. The first impact of Gershon’s work was on my leadership team.
Gershon, we finished our quarter (very late last night) and I wanted to share with you the good news: we exceeded our plan for the first time in over a year! This is our first breakthrough 🙂
There is no doubt in my mind this comes from a super motivated team executing together, and the Transformation and Breakthrough Session with you was a key step toward this.
Thanks, for all your support!

After working with Gershon I can say with conviction the team has strengthened considerably – relationships have developed, communications have become more open and, as a result, trust has deepened.

They scale through cross-functional and cross-business collaboration because no single function can deliver a complete customer solution alone. The Sales function can’t succeed without the Product function. Product can’t succeed without Engineering. Engineering can’t succeed without services and support, and so on. Conceptually, everyone understands this. But in practice, most organizations still behave as if every function lives in its own silo. I hear the same refrain everywhere: “This isn’t really my team.” “We don’t report to the same leader.” “This is more of a committee than a team.” That mindset quietly undermines performance. The Illusion of the Matrix Matrix management was designed to drive […]
