“Today, if I was asked to run a company like Chrysler or General Electric ... I can’t think of a better way than participating in Grid to get to know my team, for them to get to know me, to develop candor, mutual trust, and ultimately direction.”
– Ben Edwards, Chairman and CEO
   A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., U.S.A.

“Grid is much more than a course or a training program — it’s a life-changing experience in a way that I've never experienced with any previous effort or initiative. It has enlightened me to the point that I can claim today that I am a better leader, husband, and father.”
– Phillippe Tafelmacher, Managing Director
   Tetra Pak South Africa (Pty.) Ltd.

“I have witnessed the benefits of Grid in a number of organizations, including our own. The ability to productively address conflict and develop trust has had a direct impact on the bottom line. This program makes a difference.”
– Brian Piwek, President & CEO
   The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Canada

“My experience in China and Russia shows me that people everywhere have the same needs and attitudes toward the values of openness, critique, advocacy, and integrity. The Grid is a truly intentional concept to help people to work towards these values and attain them.”
– Richard Illak, General Manager

“It is more than management training; it is lifestyle learning and changing! We have been using Grid for 10 years and find that the participatory program with peer input has created significantly greater willingness to make changes to our own management styles.”
– Faye Wightman, President
   B.C. Children Hospital Foundation, Canada
