YOUR Leaders: A FORCE FOR GOOD
SPUR develops your mid-level and frontline leaders to build trusting teams, disentangle operational challenges, and shape cultures that prioritize people.
All so your team can
DO GOOD WORK.
We specialize in small-to-midsize companies in the Denver area with frontline employees earning less than $35/hr.
These companies can find it hard to hire and keep GOOD PEOPLE.
Yet a GOOD BOSS is a rare employee benefit that few would leave.
We’ve applied our coaching-first model in blue-collar, white-collar, and new-collar frontline settings.
SO WHAT IS GOOD WORK?
WE BELIEVE GOOD WORK LOOKS LIKE…
-
not settling for an underperforming, disengaged, burned-out, high-turnover workforce. Instead:
living up to its potential of becoming a platform that consistently generates value in changing conditions - by helping leaders get out-of-the-weeds and into highest value activities.
-
engaged and equipped with the right tools to be the boss they would want:
leading with calm, clarity, consistency, and the confidence to make great decisions that faithfully consider the health of the business and the people they lead.
-
trusting each other, prioritizing strong internal relationships, minimizing drama, being led by highly-capable people with durable skills, and grinding it out together until they achieve results.
-
being seen, given opportunities to develop skills to become ever-more valuable contributors, working with conviction, creating lasting value for customers, and receiving just reward for their labor.
-
experiencing the satisfaction of being able to provide for their families, grow their wealth, and contribute to their communities.
“Why build these cities glorious, if man unbuilded goes? In vain we build the world unless the builder also grows.” -Edwin Markham

dan kaskubar
FOUNDER
Dan founded SPUR in 2020 - when being a leader meant being exhausted. The pandemic caused pressures beyond our control, from above and below. We were living like shock absorbers, crunched to the max.
It doesn’t have to be that way!
