“During the period 1996-1998, Mr. Grandinetti assisted in navigating Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC) and it's successor organization Defense Supply Center Philadelphia (DSCP) through cultural changes caused by base realignment and closure requirements by tapping into and increasing the human capital to achieve excellence. Mr. Grandinetti facilitated and conducted ongoing training /education which escalated leadership, service and management skills throughout the organization. As a result of Mr. Grandinetti's efforts, DSCP was able to increase sales from $4.0 B in 1998 to over $13B today. 

            In addition, Mr. Grandinetti facilitated a similar organizational culture change at Defense Logistics Agency's Document Services Activity.  Our country owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Grandinetti for his work in improving the effectiveness of and efficiencies of our military warriors and civilian employees. I highly recommend that Mr. Grandinetti be sought out to assist any organization that desires to be highly competitive and achieve world class status!”

“Please accept my sincerest, personal thanks for your tremendous support and appreciation of our uniformed servicemen and women, our federal civilian workforce, and the service support contractors of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division ( PHD) as our keynote speaker during the Product Support Forum. You share the same passion we do for selfless service the sailors on the front lines, and your energy and enthusiasm toward servant leadership is inspiring and insightful. 

            It is a sincere honor and privilege to host you, once again, to invigorate our dedicated team of professionals.

“Rick Grandinetti’s dedication to our company’s success through his educational programs and leadership skills has propelled our organization to be a leader in Customer Excellence. Menards has attained the highest sales per employee for the mass merchants in the entire world. Larry Menard and I believe that this achievement is due largely to the efforts of Rick Grandinetti. The seminars conducted by Dr. Grandinetti were “events” that elevated our employees to a higher level of service and inspired them in both their professional and personal life.”

“This guy is awesome! I've listened to all of the best- Steven Covey, Troy Dunn, Jim Blasingame. Rick has got that "it" that it takes.

“Thank you for a fabulous presentation in Glens Falls last week. Still hearing nothing but great feedback. We had a committee meeting over lunch that day - many of the committee folks were at the presentation. They commented on how positive everyone was and how "up" the energy level was. You rock!”

“Dr. Grandinetti, I was at your presentation at the Hardware Seminars for Menards this past Wednesday, and WOW. That's all I can really say about it. I've never heard a better presentation in my entire life. I was seriously blown away. I'm very happy to have seen you and taken notes. God bless you!”

“Words alone can never clearly depict the satisfaction, gratitude and appreciation for the services you rendered to your Club Staff and fellow members last month. You were incredible at the “Red White & Blue” dinner and, after the motivational speech delivered to the Service Staff by you, this came as no surprise.

            I have had the opportunity to attend seminars by Stephen Covey, Ed Foreman and Zig Ziegler throughout my tenure with Club Corp and it pleases me to note that I felt your presentation was as strong as anything I have had the pleasure of listening to. You made me look like a hero to Staff and Members alike and in my opinion that is the foundation for all great service.”

“Rick, your class has changed me for the better; I've been meeting my one percent (turning in reports on time, no matter how busy). Everything is just going better. I hear you’re doing more training for Barstow and that's great, I'm hoping more folks pick up on your message. Thanks again.”
