Warren Buffett is Right
As an Austin based, executive search firm owner, I travel to Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska about 4 times per year for business development opportunities. About 50% of my book of business comes from this part of the country and I am grateful for the long term relationships and friendships developed there since 1997.
Recently we put together a “Meet & Greet” in Omaha for area HR leaders to network in. Since many of Salvatore Balistreri retained executive searches are based in Nebraska, we asked this question of HR leaders: what is the best way to “brand” Nebraska for top executives from other areas of the country? This is what the group came up with:
- Easy Commuting
- Strong Family Values
- Great Public Schools
- Sense of State Pride
- Economic Opportunity and Stability
- Lower Cost of Living
- Culture and the Arts
- Music Scene
- Quality of Life-less stress
- Employer and Employee Loyalty
- Great Food and Ethnic Food
- Great Water
- Four seasons
- State managed well (balanced budget amendment)
- Very friendly, positive relationships
- Strong leadership programs through the Chamber
- Value Cultural Diversity
- Strong Work Ethic
