MAP Announces 2009 Presidential Award Winners

LOS ANGELES, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- There's no doubt that many of today's companies and organizations are struggling to survive in what's being called the worst economic period since the Great Depression. Yet in the case of at least 10 of the nation's companies, success is being achieved on monumental levels thanks to their razor-sharp commitment to Vital Factors(R), a key strategy that's offered by Management Action Programs (MAP) (http://www.mapconsulting.com), a veteran leadership development and business-consulting firm that has accelerated sustained growth for over 13,000 companies and 160,000 executives since 1960.

To recognize such excellence, MAP is announcing the winners of its 2009 Presidential Award. Each of the award recipients has developed a blueprint to success by implementing MAP Management System(TM), a management method that incorporates Vital Factors(R) to help focus on goal alignment, accountability and execution.

"With this year's selection criteria, MAP examined how well the selected organizations have weathered the current economic storm," says Lee Froschheiser, MAP's CEO. "We noted that the leadership teams are proactive versus reactive, and have strategic ability to make timely course-correction when challenged. They're using core MAP principles and staying focused on their Vital Factors(R), which drive productivity and control costs. They're also creating a competitive advantage through goal alignment and accountability from the top down in their organizations. On behalf of the entire MAP Team, we congratulate this year's MAP Presidential Awards winners."

Each of the 2009 Presidential Award winners has successfully met Vital Goals while demonstrating execution excellence. Award criteria included:

• Implementation of the MAP Management System throughout the organization;
• Significant improvement in company "Vital Factors(R)," the critical elements that lead to sustained growth, profitability and continued success;
• Establishment of consistent, effective leadership that provides clear company direction;
• Reinforcement of company values through the consistent actions of management and employees; and
• Demonstration of the overall -- yet incredibly crucial -- hard work of its executives, management and employees.
