CEDA Jasper 1972

Introduction of the Performance Analysis Report (PAR Survey) was considered a milestone in the association’s statistical gathering activities in that it gave members for the first time the opportunity to compare their operating figures (anonymously) with those of other distributors.

While I am not suggesting that this notion is either new or revolutionary, it is often easier said than done. If growth is going to occur, the leader must fight the urge to fall back into a direct managerial stance.
