ohn Keats said truth is beauty and beauty is truth and on Friday, June 19, Stamford marks 80 years of getting that simple equation right with a celebration at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center.

A person could be forgiven for thinking Keats penned the lines exclusive to the SMNC on Scofield Town Road, which last year attracted 200,000 visitors to its bounty of aesthetics, astronomy, agriculture and old-growth forest.

Sixteen of the site’s 118 acres are tilled organically as a working New England farm from about 100 years ago featuring heirloom crops, sheep and cattle.

fellow local sculpture Reuben Nakian, who died in Stamford in 1986. Trails weave through 80 acres of forest and watershed.

The cosmos is available through the SMNC observatory’s 22-inch research telescope; Friday nights are for the public. The museum and its administrative offices up the aesthetic quotient by occupying the stone mansion of fashion retailer Henri Bendel.

Bob Scinto’s quest for pro-growth policy NO ONE IS BUILDING SPEC OFFICE BUILDINGS ANY MORE

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com ROBERT D. SCINTO, ONE OF the state’s leading real estate developers and a force in eastern Fairfield County, recently blasted the state’s tax code, saying it has chased business to other states and has helped stall development in the corporate real estate market.

“We need to get a bit of growth policy in Connecticut before you see these [rent] numbers come down drastically,” he said. “Right now the tax policies in the state are driving people out of the state.”

Scinto, who founded his Shelton-based development company, R.D. Scinto Inc., in 1975, said the commercial real estate market is significantly different than it was after the mid-1980s

and early 1990s, when changes to the tax code affected commercial real estate.

“A lot of buildings were not being built for economic reasons, but for tax reasons,” he said of the situation 25 years ago. Now, however, “The demand is good, but there is not any more supply being added. You are not seeing anyone build any spec office buildings today.”

Of the 3.4 million square feet across 34 buildings Scinto owns and manages in Fairfield County, less than 1 percent of the space is vacant, he said.

Class A corporate buildings are in high demand and if there are vacancies anywhere, it is the class B buildings, which are unsuitable and unable to meet the needs of Class A tenants, he said.

“That is why the rents are still doing well,” Scinto said. “You are not going to see any new buildings built in Connecticut for a long time.”

So where are the class B tenants? Look south, way south, said Scinto.

“People who tend to have a large amount of capital and start new businesses locate their companies where the tax situation is better, that’s why they are going to Florida, no personal income tax or death tax – Connecticut has both,” he said.

He lamented the current economic climate in the state, as he ticked off regional amenities including an idyllic shoreline, access and proximity to New York City and, a point of emphasis » SCINTO, page 6

Westport Y buys Red Barn property

BY HUGH BAILEY Hearst Connecticut Media

T

he Westport Weston Family YMCA has bought the Red Barn Restaurant property, YMCA leaders announced recently.

The 3.2-acre parcel at 292 Wilton Road in Westport, which includes the restaurant building and a separate house, was owned by members of the Nistico family, who operated the Red Barn Restaurant from 1983 until this past July.

“This is a unique opportunity for our YMCA – a long-term investment that allows us to preserve neighborhood values and, ultimately, utilize the property for the benefit of our members and the community we have served since 1923,” CEO Pat Riemersma said in a statement.

The volunteer leaders who govern the Family YMCA, a charitable nonprofit organization, are in the process of developing a plan for the future use of the property. The Y has established a limited liability company, known as 290 Wilton Road LLC, as part of

the transaction.

Downtown Westport’s Bedford Square project, which has been changing the face of the neighborhood since work began this summer, is on the site of the former YMCA. That facility’s former Weeks Pavilion complex was demolished in April.

In addition to 60,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and office space, the Bedford Square project will include 26 oneand two-bedroom apartments, as well as underground parking.

The Y moved into its new, 54,000-squarefoot, $38.5 million Adirondack-style home last August.

Constructed on the Family Y’s 32-acre Mahackeno Camp property along the Saugatuck River, the new building replaced the Y’s longtime home downtown at 59 Post Road E.

Energy efficiency looms large in new home regulations

BY ALEXANDER SOULE Hearst Media Connecticut

A

s area home builders and remodelers wrap up a successful 2015 construction season, already looming large for the 2016 season are coming revisions to Connecticut’s building codes that will have homeowners and contractors hitting the books on new requirements.

Builders say they expect the most significant changes will involve insulation and other aspects of energy efficiency.

Connecticut’s building code is updated regularly from what had been an amalgamation of model code elements from the International Code Council, the National Fire Protection Association and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers, among others.

In preparation for the newest changes, a building code amendment committee of the Connecticut Department ofAdministrative Services has congregated 15 times this year, including a Hartford meeting scheduled for Thursday with two more meetings on tap before year end.

The state has yet to set a firm date for adoption of a fully revised building code,

except to say it is targeting the spring of 2016.

Bill Ethier, CEO of the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Connecticut, said it’s no easy feat keeping up with the amendments, with Connecticut’s building code filling multiple volumes of print books.

“Any business or profession or endeavor — you need to know the rules,” Ethier said.

“The contracting business is tough because the rules change every three or six years.”

The American Institute of Architects and other groups began pushing in the 1970s for harmonized codes across local and state boundaries, as residential building companies became regional in scale, and as new federal laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 forced widespread changes in building codes.

Fast forward to 2016, and AIA’s Connecticut chapter has scheduled six full days of seminars covering all the newest changes to the state’s building codes. On Nov. 19, the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Fairfield County will hold its own forum at Ring’s End in Stratford, with Connecticut’s deputy state building inspector on hand to discuss the pending new rules.

2 Week of November 16, 2015 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

“Building technology advances, I think, in ways that consumers cannot fathom,” said Diane Harp Jones, AIA Connecticut’s CEO. “Literally every day there is better, improved science in the way we make buildings. Architects can design to anything — but it’s much more protective ... if building and fire safety codes are not in conflict.”

Connecticut and other states reject some measures for the sheer cost of implementation, noted Ethier — for instance, NFPA recommendations that sprinklers be mandated in new homes, with California, Maryland and Washington, D.C., having adopted the requirement for newly built homes, adding tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of construction.

But many code addenda are motivated by the goal of saving money over the life of the structure, whether by limiting wasted energy or by limiting accidents or damage from extreme events like hurricanes. In the wake of Superstorm Sandy in 2012, builders are expecting Connecticut to increase the ability of coastal homes to withstand high winds and water through reinforced walls and elevated foundations.

In a study published in October by the Florida Solar Energy Center examin-

ing the financial impact of a quarter-century’s revisions to Florida’s building code, researchers estimated at 13 percent the overall savings the newer building code produced. While that was well under the 50 percent savings Florida officials had predicted would occur in 1985 in enacting new regulations, that forecast did not factor in the vastly larger homes that would be become the norm, as well as particulars of the homes themselves such as the increased appliances households would install.

If it is a lot to assimilate for the average homeowner, all the more so for your local contractor.

“It’s hugely sophisticated and all the more so because we have to be the subjectmatter experts,” said Bill Janhonen, a building and energy efficiency consultant who owns WSJ Enterprises in Norwalk. “As long as we live under caveat emptor, it’s really the responsibility of the individual to know.

You have to do your due diligence and make sure you hire the right expert.”

Wells Fargo ups top-drawer services NEW CHIEFS FOR ITS PRIVATE BANK AMID DOUBLE-DIGIT GROWTH

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

W

ells Fargo Private Bank is relocating its Greenwich office to bigger quarters headed by a new regional managing director for Connecticut, whose New York counterpart is also new. They represent, they said recently, a growth story.

Senior Vice President Emily Dreas, Wells Fargo Private Bank’s new regional managing director for Connecticut, is joined in the leadership posts by a new cross-border managing director for New York, Robert DiDiano, who also is a Wells Fargo senior vice president.

A typical Wells Fargo Private Bank customer has $2 million in liquid assets. “But we make allowances for small-business owners because we recognize that if you are a smallbusiness owner, your liquid assets could very well be in your business,” Dreas said “This is a growth story,” DiDiano said, calling in to participate in an Fairfield County Business Journal on-site office interview with Dreas. DiDiano’s office is in Manhattan, but he oversees the private bank’s White Plains and

Emily Dreas

Long Island offices, too.

“We’re working to build our markets here,” Dreas said. “Wells Fargo Private Bank is well known on the West Coast. Here, we’re a bit of an unknown story. But we’re seeing a lot of active growth. We’re looking to hire and we’re looking to build.”

Dreas’ and DiDiano’s positions are part of a push by parent company Wells Fargo to become a better-known brand and to grow the private bank’s East Coast presence amid

four key client issues the bank has spotted: • pegging the Northeast’s income, gift and estate taxes as “among the highest in the nation,” clients are interested in ways to minimize taxes; • minimizing potential negative consequences of generational wealth transfer while helping to assure children are good stewards; • providing guidance on selling or transitioning a business in a way that assures financial security, but also positively impacts family, employees and the community; and • addressing market volatility that can impact client portfolios.

Dreas’ new office is 1 Lafayette Place in Greenwich where 35 people began working Nov. 9. The former Greenwich office was 28 Havemeyer Place. The White Plains office is 50 Main St., where 14 employees 18 months ago have grown to 20 now. DiDiano spoke from his office on E. 42nd Street in Manhattan.

Besides Dreas and DiDiano, new top staffers include in New York, Lori McNamara, regional brokerage manager for the New York suburban markets, including Long

Island; and Michael Freiheit, who assumes the same duties in Greenwich.

DiDiano said intrabank cooperation is a key to the bank’s vision and both he and Dreas stressed the importance of business banking in the Wells Fargo Private Bank equation.

“Cooperation between our business lines is a theme at Wells Fargo,” DiDiano said. “We truly think of things in terms of ‘one Wells Fargo.’ We are not siloed. A Wells vision is a strategic plan coupled with competent advice for clients to grow their businesses.”

Wells Fargo, which dates to 1852, has 84 community bank locations in New York state, with 34 of them in Westchester County.

It has 73 in Connecticut, with 33 in Fairfield County.

Additionally, Wells Fargo maintains 48 ATMs in Fairfield County and 54 in Westchester County. It employs 500 in Westchester and 658 in Fairfield. The Fairfield branch number could go up by one; Dreas said Wells Fargo Private Bank is currently interested in a Westport site.

DiDiano said, “We’re building on our markets here. It’s a great story.”

LETTER to the editor

Business groups back transportation lockbox

S

tamford Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jack Condlin headed to Hartford recently to support Gov. Dannel Malloy’s efforts to create a lockbox for transportation funds.

Condlin arrived with a letter bearing the backing of multiple chambers of commerce and business organizations statewide, including his own and The Business Council of Fairfield County and The Connecticut Business and Industry Association, the state’s largest business organization.

“I’m going up to Hartford today for a 1 p.m. press conference to show support of the Connecticut businesses for the governor’s efforts to create a lockbox for transportation funds,” Condlin said in sending the following signed letter to the Fairfield County Business Journal.

Re: Chambers of Commerce and Business Associations Support a Transportation Lockbox

“We, the chambers of commerce and business associations across Connecticut, urge you to support a well-drafted constitutional amendment that creates a lockbox.”

Dear Senator or Representative: The chambers of commerce and business associations across Connecticut support the local businesses that propel our economy. Mobility affords opportunities for our members to establish and grow their businesses that employ Connecticut workers. To our members, the state’s transportation network does more than move goods and people from one place to another, it also functions as a platform that boosts and sustains the entire state economy.

Connecticut’s transportation systems afford local businesses the ability to create,

Jack Condlin

maintain and grow the jobs that generate tax revenues. In turn, the revenues support families, communities, schools and government.

The ensuing economic activity completes the cycle that sustains our quality of life.

Three basic facts frame the challenges facing the transportation platform that shapes our prosperity. (The emphasis is from the letter.)

■ Deficient transportation systems currently cost Connecticut travelers over $4.2 billion annually in lost time and money.

■ It will cost at least $60 billion over the next 30 years simply to maintain the bare minimum service level on our rails, busses, roads and bridges that exists today.

■ Connecticut transportation systems suffer from years of underinvestment. Part of this underinvestment was due to over $1.4 billion in transportation tax receipts being diverted to nontransportation programs in recent years.

The Connecticut General Assembly and the Malloy administration have taken the first necessary steps by enacting important transportation funding measures to reverse the decline. Those measures begin to address Connecticut’s transportation challenges.

westfaironline.com • wagmag.com 4 Week of November 16, 2015 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

The next necessary step is to protect any dedicated funding that has been put in place specifically to meet identified transportation needs. Beyond providing for safe and efficient mobility, this will also send a strong message that Connecticut is serious about creating a path forward to economic stability and success.

We, the chambers of commerce and business associations across Connecticut, urge you to support a well-drafted constitutional amendment that creates a lockbox to protect the transportation investments that have been put in place. Establishing a constitutional lockbox that clearly identifies both specific transportation revenue streams and permitted transportation expenditures is a no-cost, fiscally prudent measure that will ensure Connecticut stays on a sustainable path. It will send a loud and clear message that Connecticut is honestly moving in the right direction.

There are only two options. You can go back to diverting the funding from the transportation platform that sustains our economy, or you can protect the funding that will drive stability and growth. We urge you to make the right choice and support a constitutional lockbox in the best interest of our safety, mobility and prosperity.

At Danbury Fair Mall, consumers both on and off site can text Santa’s headquarters for help or information. The mall promises a response in 2 minutes, usually by text, but the concierge will make a call if requested.

Danbury Fair is owned and operated by California-based Macerich, which also operates, but does not own, the Cross County Shopping Center in Yonkers. The mall began setting up its holiday displays Oct. 24 and welcomed the first holiday enthusiasts Nov. 6. This is the first year for text concierge service and the second year for a holiday set with a giant observatory that, naturally, charts Santa’s flight on a computer screen.

for Scinto, its abundance of college-educated labor, among the highest in the country, he said.

“The bottom line is to grow a company you have to be in an area where you have creative people and Connecticut has creative people,” he said. “If you discourage people from staying in your state, the people with money, all you are left with is poor people and that can’t be.”

Scinto points to towns like Shelton and Ansonia that have rolled out the red carpet

for new development projects as opposed to other municipalities he declined to name, which can be more obstructive than productive.

“Their attitude is, How can we help you get it started?” he said of the business-friendly municipalities. “Some other towns, that is not the case.”

Turning his focus to Hartford, he said, “We need to just work on the state policies.

You can’t spend more than you earn. You can’t have tax increases every other year.

And you have got to stop with the death taxes.”

Silver Hill ups the fight against eating disorders INPATIENT AND FOLLOW-UP CARE ARE PARTS OF THE PLAN

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

S

ilver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, a nonprofit dedicated to the treatment of psychiatric and addictive disorders since 1931, said it is opening the only eating disorders program in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey to provide a full

year of integrated treatment.

The hospital in a prepared statement said eating disorders typically warrant what it termed a “fragmented approach that causes patients to change facilities whenever the disease changes course.”

A spokesperson said the program actively seeks Westchester County residents.

Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan.

6 Week of November 16, 2015 • FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

In announcing the program, the hospital cited its track record with other mental issues – depression, addiction, anxiety – that can accompany what the hospital called “disordered eating.”

The new program opens this month with three levels of care: inpatient, residential and a recovery support follow-up service that

works with the patient’s community support network for a full year after leaving Silver Hill. “This is when relapse is most common,” the hospital said.

Silver Hill said it is “uniquely qualified to manage all the complications of eating disorders because it is a psychiatric hospital and can treat all the emotional, behavioral and physical aspects of the mental illness with the highest mortality rate.”

Those with eating disorders often have coexisting psychiatric issues such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse or suicidal ideation, compounded by malnutrition and heart or other vital organ malfunction, Silver Hill said.

“Fifty percent of patients with eating disorders have another mental illness or a dual disorder,” said Sigurd Ackerman, president and medical director of Silver Hill.

“The nature of the disease also means that many fight physical medical conditions, as well. Treating these together is essential if a patient is to have a positive outcome. As a psychiatric hospital, we can prescribe all appropriate pharmacological interventions.

There is a psychiatrist on our campus 24/7, and we have a multidisciplinary team of specially trained psychologists, social workers, dietitians and nurses to work with each patient.”

Erin I. Kleifield, former staff psychologist with the inpatient eating disorder unit at Cornell University Medical College, will lead the program. “We’ve spent over a year designing the program and have completely renovated the space,” Ackerman said. “I am confident that with Dr. Kleifield and her staff, we can make a tremendous difference in the lives of many.”

Stew Leonard’s expects a million for dinner STORE CEO IS BULLISH ON THE HOLIDAY

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc,.com

O

ver the next few weeks Stew Leonard’s, Fairfield County’s homegrown regional grocery giant, will welcome somewhere approximately a million people through its stores in Connecticut and New York as it ramps up for the start of the holiday season.

“Normally we get about 50,000 customers a week and we usually figure they at least come with one person we get 100,000 people a week,” said Stew Leonard Jr. president and CEO of Stew Leonard’s.

“Thanksgiving week we will double the number of customers,” he said. “It will be 200,000 customers and that is just one store.”

Leonard said across the company’s four locations in Norwalk, Danbury, Newington, Yonkers, N.Y., and including the independently owned and operated Stew Leonard’s Wines stores, the company expects a million customers over the Thanksgiving week.

“It’s the kickoff for the festival of food and wine for the end of the year,” he said.

Christmas is a more lucrative season,

but Thanksgiving begins what amounts to a month of celebration from small gatherings and work parties to a full calendar of religious events and holidays feasts.

“Now the drumbeat in the woods is starting to bang,” Leonard said.

In preparation for the flood of shoppers, Leonard has taken on “hundreds” of seasonal staff across his stores.

The company normally employs more than 2,000 people across its stores, but that number will increase to more than 2,500 with the addition of seasonal employees.

Already this holiday season Leonard has seen positive signs that the consumers are rebounding from years of belt tightening as even Halloween spending was up, he said.

“We saw an uptick in spending just in Halloween,” he said. “I would say right now, we are very bullish on the holidays, we are very excited just from the number of pumpkins we sold this year, people were buying three pumpkins instead of one.”

The real measurement of the economic health of his customers is what Leonard refers to as his “mashed potato index.”

aryland-based aerospace and security giant Lockheed Martin recently announced the close of its acquisition of Stratford-based Sikorsky Aircraft for $9 billion. Lockheed on Nov. 6 unveiled the new company as Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Co., at a media event at Sikorsky headquarters in Stratford.

“Today we are proud to welcome the Sikorsky team to Lockheed Martin,” Marillyn Hewson, Lockheed chairman, president and CEO, said. “Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky share a legacy of innovation and performance that has shaped the history of aviation for more than a century. Together, we are even better positioned to provide the best value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”

The closing of the acquisition awaited final approvals from the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China because the companies needed approval to merge from every country in which either of them did business.

Sen. Chris Murphy hailed the deal as a positive for Sikorsky and the state.

“This sale will be a win for the hardworking men and women at Sikorsky and for the servicemen and women who rely on their helicopters to defend our nation,” he said.

“I look forward to working with Lockheed and the rest of the Connecticut delegation to bring more high-tech manufacturing and engineering jobs to Connecticut in the coming decades.”

Sikorsky will be aligned under the Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training segment and is part of Lockheed’s focus on mission-ready solutions and expanding its core business into the growing

areas of helicopter production and sustainment, Lockheed officials said.

Sikorsky, will retain its headquarters in Stratford, though the company will no longer be Connecticut based. It employs nearly 15,000 employees in 11 countries and its helicopters are used by all five branches of the U.S. armed forces along with military services and commercial operators in 40 nations.

With the addition of Sikorsky, Lockheed employs more than 126,000 people worldwide.

When Lockheed first announced the deal in July, Lockheed Chief Financial Officer Bruce Tanner said job cuts, facility consolidation and the elimination of overlapping costs are possible, according to Hearst Connecticut Media Lockheed said the price of the acquisition was “effectively reduced to approximately $7.1 billion, after taking into account tax benefits resulting from the transaction.”

The company said the IRS has classified the transaction as “an asset purchase for tax purposes,” resulting in $1.9 billion in savings.

Dan Schultz has been selected to lead the new company as president after leading the integration and previously serving as vice president for Lockheed Martin’s Ship & Aviation Systems.

“Dan is a former Marine helicopter pilot and has decades of experience in the rotarywing segment, including leading Lockheed Martin’s helicopter system integration business,” Hewson said. “He brings a wealth of leadership experience and a deep understanding of our international customer base.

I am confident he is the right person to lead Sikorsky at this pivotal time.”

Presidential fleet advances

S

tratford-based Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. has achieved three milestones in its $1.24 billion agreement with the Navy to replace the presidential helicopter fleet with 21 operational and two test aircraft.

Sikorsky, a former subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. in Hartford and now part of Lockheed, said it had successfully completed the “VH-92A Presidential Helicopter Replacement Program Preliminary Design Review,” completed the integration and performance testing of communications system components and accepted the second S-92A aircraft for the program.

“Completing these three milestones on or ahead of schedule is a fantastic accomplishment,” Spencer Elani, Sikorsky VH-92A program director said. “We are committed to executing this program on time and

within budget. These achievements keep this program moving forward.”

In May 2014, the Navy awarded a $1,244,677,064 “fixed-price incentive engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) contract with production options to Sikorsky” for the new fleet.

The helicopters are planned for use beginning in 2020, with production concluding in 2023. Under the contract, Sikorsky will use its in-production S-92 aircraft and integrate “government-defined mission systems,” plus install what is termed “an executive interior.”

The preliminary design review was completed Aug. 21. It allowed the VH-92A team to successfully demonstrate the preliminary design for the VH-92A aircraft, the company reported.

as to identify inventory that builds up and needs to be moved out. Keep moving older inventory to the front of the warehouse and put someone in charge of finding ways to use it up.

Inventory tools can reduce waste and days of goods on hand. Days that goods sit around, instead of being put to work and charged off to the client, ties up money that could be used elsewhere in the business.

Waste costs more than 100 percent because of lost opportunity.

There are lots of tools on the market to track inventory. Scanners and bar coding save time and increase accuracy. GPS systems on pallets help track goods on and off trucks and at clients’ sites. Using iPads and truck stocking systems helps make inventory management in real time.

If you’re not prepared to manage inventory, consider outsourcing. Some vendors will receive, store and later deliver the finished goods to your clients. Others will stock your trucks or ship via common carrier when you request it. Bulk centers can streamline processes and take advantage of staffing efficiencies. You still have to periodically audit to ensure they’re not wasting or losing items. If you have lots of goods coming in and

going out, consider cross docking to speed the turnaround — especially important when dealing with perishable items.

Whatever solution you choose, set goals.

Reduce the time goods sit, cut down on waste and increase ability to service customers by having exactly the right inventory all the time.

Turn to your industry association for ideas on best practices. Team up with companies larger than yours, who can show you what they’ve invested in. Hire experts to help you plan your warehouse of the future. Have a vision of where you want to go.

CEO Evolution: Big decisions and the need for alignment

R

ichard Branson, Virgin Atlantics CEO, says he makes two to three big decisions annually. But, once a decision is made, its success involves many more people than those who were part of the decision. As part of this CEO Evolution quarterly column, I am going to bring to you some insights as to how CEOs make big decisions and then successfully implement them.

Some decisions can create such pervasive change for an organization that they affect its entire strategy or business model, which is referred to as a business “pivot.”

Pivoting is familiar to those in the startup world where entrepreneurs switch gears when their business strategy/model is not working. Pivoting can also help established businesses that have stopped growing to jumpstart growth.

Examples of big decisions include selling or purchasing a significant business unit; making a significant change to product or service offerings; and restructuring the management team.

Whether a big decision results in a pivot or something less, its probability of success is more dependent on the characteristics of the company before the decision is made than the quality of the decision. In other words, a company needs to be in alignment before a significant change is introduced. Alignment, as defined by Harvard Prof. Jay W. Lorsch, is the creation of organizational practices and structures that simultaneously fit the strategic requirements of a business and the needs of its key employees. Misalignment, on the other hand, occurs when leaders of a

company are simply “not on the same page.”

For example, the head of sales is operating his/her group based on the belief that only two or three of the company’s products are worth promoting and are valuable to the Mark L. Fagan

sales team for lucrative commissions, whereas the head of operations believes the company should have all products in production and available and is managing inventory and capital requirements under that assumption.

A company’s management team and key employees must be in alignment before a significant change is introduced by the CEO. If not, probability for success plummets. Why? Because change is difficult and it requires buyin and commitment to a common goal from management and key employees. If those characteristics are not present before a change, chances are they won’t be afterward, either.

How is alignment achieved? It depends.

In most traditional corporations (manufacturing, technology and service companies), power and influence is easily identified and essentially follows the organization chart. In these companies, the CEO

drives strategy, then creates buy-in and communicates it throughout the organization.

Decisions about who reports to whom will follow closely on the heels of strategic decisions. Alignment of strategy can be accomplished by getting the C suite of executives to agree on a strategy and then drive that strategy down through the organization, through department heads and key employees.

Accomplishing the same goal with professional service firms (law, accounting, investment banking, engineers and consulting firms) is more complicated. Power, ownership and influence are more widely distributed than in traditional corporations.

In professional service firms influential partners may not hold formal titles, but can be some of the most influential and powerful members of the firm and can disrupt the alignment of an organization.

As explained in a Harvard Business School case study, McKinsey & Co., one of the most successful consulting companies in the world, wrote its first brochure in 1940 to explain the firm’s approach to potential clients. Marvin Bower, its then-managing partner, was against the idea because advertising was considered beneath professional service firms at that time. Eventually he agreed and saw a hidden value to the effort — a way to bring the firm’s thinking together. All of McKinsey’s partners were involved in writing the brochure, approving almost every word. It was a massive effort and took nearly a year to complete, but when it was done, the firm had the beginning of strategic alignment — a genuine agreement on the kind of

firm it wanted to be.

Once the key members of an organization agree on where the company needs to be and on the basic steps needed for success, then that message must be communicated throughout the organization. At the second annual CEO Evolution event on June 15, 2015, at UConn Stamford, Denis Nayden, former CEO of GE Capital, said, “If your strategy is believable, if you are consistent, if you follow through in terms of execution and demanding and accountability and so forth, you can even manage the crazy number of businesses all around the world. But then you need a capable team, you’ve got to depend on them because there is no way one person can have any understanding as to what is going on every single hour of every single day all around the world. You need to be able to depend on the whole team wherever they are and then you find a way to talk to them all the time.”

“The catering side of our business has been doubling every year at Thanksgiving,” Leonard said. “Today people are so time pressed, that what they want to do is have us prepare it, just like they would at home — they don’t want it frozen, they don’t want preservatives in it.

If anything can be said to be an indicator of an improving economy, Leonard is preparing to open a new store on Long Island in January 2016.

Announced in February 2015, the Farmingdale, N.Y., store will be the company’s fifth since opening in Norwalk in 1969.

“This has been a dream of our family’s since 2002, when we first started exploring options for a new store on Long Island,” Leonard said in a statement.

This Thanksgiving Leonard expects more than a million pounds of turkey to be sold, not to mention the tens of thousands of pounds of potatoes and yams.

“Thanksgiving week we sell about 15,000 pounds of herbs — rosemary, sage and thyme especially,” he said. “A normal week is around 1,000 pounds.”

In addition, the company will donate more than 2,100 turkeys throughout the Connecticut and New York communities where its stores are located to help provide Thanksgiving meals for families in need via more than 100 churches, civic groups, elder-

Payback time for I-287 nonwork

A

Westchester County company, Yonkers Contracting Co. Inc., which was originally hired in 2006 to do construction work on Interstate-287, owes the federal government $2.6 million as part of an agreement after illegally exploiting and profiting from the federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program.

The multiyear project is remaking the interstate from the Tappan Zee Bridge to its terminus at Interstate-95 south of Byram.

Yonkers Contracting, of 969 Midland Ave. in Yonkers, was originally awarded a $141 million contract, 90 percent of which was covered by the Federal Highway Administration, which is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The federal money was provided because Yonkers Contracting agreed to hire disadvantaged- minority- or women-owned businesses to complete 8.03 percent of the work. Yonkers Contracting said that Global Marine Supply Co., a company with DBE status, would supply steel and complete roughly 31 percent of the work expected by DBE subcontracts for the project.

“Global Marine never stored or shipped any steel, and thus, as Yonkers Contracting knew, performed no commercially useful function on the project,” according to a joint statement from the offices of Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General and the inspector general of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

A third party supplied the steel and Global Marine, which is based in India, copied that supplier’s invoices with an added 1 percent markup.

Yona Jimenez, of Roslyn, N.Y., and the former president and owner of Global Marine, pleaded guilty in 2013 to mail fraud.

William B. Meyer locks 100 years of history in a time capsule

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

S

tratford-based William B. Meyer Inc., a logistics, storage and relocation company, has placed a century-long track record in a box to be opened in 50 years.

The time capsule includes “physical records, mementos and the spirit of their employees” company officials said.

“To accurately and effectively preserve the company history of William B. Meyer Inc., a dedicated committee of employees was challenged with capturing the character of the workforce and its dedication to live the values of the company mission each day,” Meyer officials said. “The Time Capsule Committee went back in time to create a comprehensive and encompassing physical tribute to the last 100 years, to be rediscovered 50 years from now, in the year 2065.”

The objects included in the time capsule were described by Meyer as unique and included the original receipt for the first truck purchased by founder William B. Meyer. Other time capsule elements included photos, advertisements, awards and employ-

ee work clothing.

“These items placed in the time capsule captured the essence of the company and will be a lasting physical legacy reflecting the company’s history and all the people that worked for its success,” Meyer said.

Time Capsule Committee co-chairperson Ted Kennedy said, “I think most of the time when we consider the term ‘history,’ most of us probably roll our eyes a little bit and think back to our school days when history meant learning important dates and names and things like that. But a better way to think about history is it really is a reflection of who we are, how we got here and where we’re going. So on that theme, as part of the centennial, we thought it was important to find a way to leave a legacy that would reflect the meaning of the company’s history and all the fine folks associated with it. In effect, remembering who we are as a company by recognizing and honoring the past as well as coming up with a way of looking forward to the future.”

In an up-to-the-minute entry, photos from the company’s centennial gala event in September were included in the

EDUCATION

Education off the clock has its day SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS BACK MASTERY-BASED LEARNING

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

A

nother revolution is afoot in the Constitution State, this one involving education.

A burgeoning three-prong approach that flips the time-learning equation on its head has rooted in a number of state districts and appears to be gaining traction. It downplays the calendar and embraces what is known as mastery-based learning.

“It’s a reversal of the traditional way of thinking,” said Joseph Cirasuolo, executive director of the West Hartford-based Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents, 108 years old and popularly called CAPSS. “Instead of earning a diploma by seat time, a student has to demonstrate that he or she has mastered the concepts.”

Cirasuolo, 74 years old, a Columbia University Ph.D. and a former teacher and superintendent, said, “I have attended many high school graduations. I’ve seen the valedictorian who had learned everything. And then walking across the stage to a standing ovation comes the D-minus student that nobody thought would graduate. The difference in learning is so great you have to wonder what the diploma means.”

He said the shift does not involve a “cookie-cutter approach.” The Windsor Locks School District is the furthest along in the mastery-based method, Cirasuolo said. “It’s

not a wealthy suburban district and many of the students could be classified as poor. But they are moving in this direction with very good results.” He said the school districts of Wallingford, New Fairfield and Farmington also are using the system, “each in its own way. There is no cookie-cutter approach. This is very different than what we’ve been doing.”

CAPSS membership includes 164 of the state’s 165 school superintendents and Cirasuolo said, “We’re working on No. 165; he’s trying to come aboard.” Including its associate members and affiliated college professors, CAPSS represents a total 400 education professionals.

CAPSS’ partnerships include the American Federation of Teachers CT, the Connecticut Education Association and the Connecticut Association of School Business Officials. Additionally CAPSS partners with the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education, the Connecticut Association of Schools, the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, Connecticut Coalition for Achievement Now and the Connecticut

Council for Education Reform.

The push to have students advance only when they have mastered the topics at hand comes with a pair of nuances that are critical to success.

Cirasuolo said there are five to seven

“As much as possible, mastery-based learning takes advantage of the students’ interests.”

— Joseph Cirasuolo

acknowledged different learning styles, including visual and auditory learning styles that are largely accommodated now. “With mastery-based learning, you teach the children in ways that align with their primary learning styles,” he said.

“By the time a 5-year-old arrives in kindergarten, that child has already learned

a lot and they are all basically on the same plane,” he said. “But after a few years, we’ll have slower students who need more time.

We’re not teaching them the way they learn.”

Another tool is student interest.

“As much as possible, mastery-based learning takes advantage of the students’ interests,” he said. “For example, to assign a football book to a student who has no interest in football offers no foothold. But content that the student finds interesting receives a different welcome. It makes a heck of a lot of sense.”

Cirasuolo said CAPSS was successful in the 1980s lobbying to raise teacher salaries and quickly seeing better candidates apply for teaching jobs. CAPSS surveys at the time indicated “I cannot earn enough as a teacher” was the biggest obstacle to becoming one. “We were not alone in that effort,” he said. “We worked with other organizations to get it done.

Beacon School students and Col. Perry Baltimore with CHAMPS mine-detection dog, Dino.

S

tudents at the Beacon School in Stamford recently learned about land mines from Col. Perry Baltimore of the Virginia-based Marshall Legacy Institute, which is named for and modeled after the post-World War II Marshall Plan. The students are participating in the institute’s Children Against Mines Program, called CHAMPS. As part of the initiative, the students met a mine-detecting dog named Dino, a German shepherd that just returned from duty in Afghanistan.

The CHAMPS program was created to educate students in the U.S. about the devastation of landmines. Beacon students learned that the most effective method of landmine detection is performed with dogs trained as expert sniffers. CHAMPS also includes a collaborative program. Students in mine-affected countries communicate with students in the US and together they help children hurt by landmines.

“Imagine going outside to play in your back yard if everywhere you step could cause an explosion, possibly ending your life,” said Beacon seventh-grader Jack von Riesemann. “These dogs save children’s lives and help people in war-torn coun-

tries feel safe again. Students at Beacon came up with the idea to sell puppy merchandise to support this important organization.”

Each CHAMPS campaign aims to raise awareness about landmines lets children participate in the solution by contributing money they raise through bake sales and the like. The money goes to sponsoring a dog, which is named for the children’s state, town or school. One-hundred percent of the money raised by CHAMPS participants goes to the purchase and training of the dogs, the school reported. Students can follow the training and deployment of their sponsored dog on the Marshall Legacy Institute website.

The Marshall Legacy Institute was founded in 1997, the 50th anniversary year of the post-World War II Marshall Plan. The institute’s goal is the eradication of landmines worldwide.

The Beacon School is an accredited, coed, independent school for intellectually curious learners in grades 3-12. For more information, contact Meredith Hafer, the head of school, at 203-200-7244 or mhafer@beacon-ct.org.

30,000 push-ups bring in $20,000 for young entrepreneurs

BY BILL FALLON bfallon@westfairinc.com

T

he first annual Push for Entrepreneurship, a fundraiser drenched in sweat equity to benefit Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, was held recently at Fairfield University.

Twenty-five participants completed more than 30,000 push-ups during the twohour event that raised more than $20,000 to teach students about starting their own businesses.

Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship is a worldwide nonprofit dedicated to teaching youths from low-income neighborhoods about starting their own businesses and developing entrepreneurial mindsets. The nonprofit trains and certifies teachers who go on to instruct students on how to write and then present a business plan. All of the proceeds from Push for Entrepreneurship event were dedicated to the Fairchester chapter of the nonprofit, which serves Westchester and Fairfield counties.

Michael Carter, PFE’s founder and a Southport-based investment banker, said, “There are a lot of similarities between starting a business and doing two hours of pushing: both are extraordinarily hard and mentally challenging; both endeavors take 100 percent commitment and a winning attitude.

Preparation, practice and planning are key.

And most people will say you are crazy.”

Participants included men and women ranging in age from 6 to 61. Three women completed 4,000 push-ups. In a display of raw determination, Gavin Donaldson, age 6, did 600 push-ups in an hour.

Shawn Osborne, CEO of the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, offered the first push-up and said “We are excited to join forces with Push for Entrepreneurship. This event will help raise the awareness around NFTE’s mission to help kids from underresourced neighborhoods like Bridgeport to recognize business opportunities and plan for successful futures.”

Dean Don Gibson of the Dolan School of Business at Fairfield University said, “The energy in the room was terrific and the support for entrepreneurship in this region is critical to supporting students’ new ideas for businesses.”

Push for Entrepreneurship’s sponsors included Fairfield University’s business incubator, Fairfield Accelerator & Mentoring Enterprise, and its operators, Black Stag Consulting, the law firm Shipman & Goodwin, the accounting firm Citrin Cooperman and Mental Grit Fitness.

and Reuben Nakian,” she said. “It’s great we have these two great artists at the head of our collection.”

Mulrooney, who has 10 years at her post, spent an hour recently discussing the museum’s programs and history, including its successful Business Affiliates Membership Program that has attracted 25 companies, corporations, firms and a foundation (Xerox Foundation) and that is headed in the top tier

by Aquarion Water Co., First County Bank, Purdue Pharma L.P. and Reckson, a Division of SL Green Corp.

The museum’s annual operating budget is $3.6 million. Mulrooney said it raises about 66 percent of that sum through the likes of admission – there were 200,000 visitors last year – and through fundraisers and by hosting events. “The businesses of the SMNC – what we do to bring in income – are very important,” she said. “But we also rely on corporate sponsors and the business community to be involved with us in a profound way.”

She said that since the Business Affiliates initiative launched in 2009, “We’ve pretty much doubled corporate support.” She said the companies that sign on have shared

values in education and with the environment and gain by aligning their brands with the museum’s brand.

“Aquarion, for example, has been a terrific environmental partner,” she said.

The SMNC employs 25 full time. Those ranks swell to 72 seasonally. Both on site and through its traveling programs, Mulrooney said the museum instructs 35,000 students per year, about half of them from Stamford.
