When David Long - CEO/founder of MyEmployees and Star Culture - became a fellow at our Birthing of Giants program this spring, he had one new risk on his mind. His company, known primarily for producing employee recognition plaques, had recently expanded to offer engagement survey software. David realized this required a big change to how they sold, but he wasn’t sure what the change should be. “We wanted to combine [our offerings] because in our minds, they are the exact same thing,” he told me. “But they are done differently. They are sold differently. It’s like oil and water—they’re not mixing. And that has been the frustrating thing. So we’re […] going to split the company into two,” he said.

When you recognize your top performers, everyone gets better and you make more money as a business owner. That's the quick way of saying a recognition culture is powerful and transformative. My guest today is David Long, the brother of another favorite guest, Randy Long. Like his brother, he's an author, speaker, entrepreneur and business owner. Unlike his brother, he's the founder of MyEmployees—a worldwide leader in the employee recognition industry. You've probably seen his employee recognition plaques in Wal-Mart, Target, Lowe's or in a number of other companies that know the benefits that come from an employee recognition culture. David tells me the incredible story of the desperate start his business got after he lost seven jobs in three and a half years. He then tells how a $700 base for his business turned into the $10.5 million business it is now. He pins most of that growth on the employee recognition culture he inspires in his own business and in others. To improve your employees, the #1 thing to do is recognize them.
