The gradu- ates include David Napoli of Busch Funeral & Cre- matory Services, Dennis Moore of Freemont Chapel of the Roses, Joey Wallace of Ingram Funeral Home & Crematory, Lori Sheel- er of Wilson St. Pierre Fu- neral Service and Cremato- ry, Luis Lozada of Serenity Memorial Group, and Mi- chael Roberts of Hathaway Family Funeral Homes. The Johnson Consult- ing Group Leadership and Management Academy is a comprehensive 14-week program that trains upcom- ing and current funeral and cemetery business leaders and managers. The Acad- emy’s purpose is to equip them with JCG’s four core areas of focus: customer ser- vice, workplace, market- place, and financial stability. “Lawrence W. Michael and Nelson Thulin made it a great week” said JCG grad- uate Wallace, “It was both a great learning experience and great time. I know that I’ve made some new friends for life.” The first semester focus- es on exceptional customer service and maintaining a workplace dedicated to pro- fessional development. The second semester dives into active engagement in the community, addressing the needs of the marketplace, and responsible financial oversight to ensure stability and longevity. “We are honored to have these attendees as part of the first group to gradu- ate from JCG’s leadership and management academy,” says Nelson Thulin, JCG’s Director of Business Con- sulting, “We look forward building upon this program in the years to come.” On behalf of Johnson Consulting Group and the business consulting team, we would like to extend our congratulations to each of the graduates. They look forward to seeing the im- pact they will make in their businesses and communities moving forward.

Management is important, critical even. Bud- gets. Timelines. Equipment. Inventory. All need manage- ment. Humans, every orga- nization’s most precious as- set—by degrees of incalculable magnitude— don’t need or want to be managed. But they do in fact need and want to be led.” – Stephen R.
