Randy Mayes Quick Facts
- Main Areas
- Coach, Trainer, Management and Organizational Development Expert
From teaching people how to clean toilets to running a cleaning supply company generating millions of dollars in sales, Randy has always been focused on training and developing people. After graduating with a degree in psychology, he spent the next several years managing high-tu over, labor intensive industries – food service and contract cleaning. Working with thousands of employees and clients, he quickly honed his training skills and ability to maximize human potential.
People are the difference. In 1986, Randy started Springfield Janitor Supply in Springfield, Missouri. He took the company from an upstart business operating out of a garage to a regional company generating millions of dollars in sales and employing fourteen full-time employees. For the most part, the cleaning supply business is a commodity business driven by price. Randy was able to set his company apart and generate exceptional margins by providing effective, world-class training programs for his clients and employees.
Randy works full time as an Executive Coach, consultant, and trainer. He is also is an adjunct professor for William Woods University’s MBA program teaching classes in entrepreneurship, management, and marketing.

We find these truths self-evident
This line from the Declaration of Independence is one of the most powerful ever penned. "Truth, real truth, can stand on its own. It needs no defense." People have an innate ability to ferret out truth. Like cream on fresh milk, truth has a way of naturally coming to the top. If you give people enough space and room they will consistently spot truth and do the right thing.

Motivation in the Workplace
I have been reading a great book by Chip Conley called Peak. Chip is one of the key players in a group of San Francisco based boutique hotels operating under the name Joie de Vivre Hospitality. The company’s name comes from a French term meaning a delight in being alive. Conley has tapped into the intrinsic human need to self- actualize as outlined by Abraham Maslow in his famous hierarchy of needs. Each hotel in the group has a unique personality that allows patrons to experience something beyond the basics of sleep and comfort.

Are you Wealthy?
I recently heard Dr Gay Hendricks give a new definition of wealthy that caught my attention. He said, “A person is wealthy when they have all that they want and want all that they have.” What an interesting definition of wealth. So how does a healthy person have all that they want? Isn’t drive and ambition a natural part of being truly healthy? I would definitely say yes. In fact if there was no drive, ambition or need for achievement, I would say something is missing.

What Are You Willing to Die For? A Salute to our Soldiers
The life of a soldier is an interesting one. They voluntarily give up their own life for a cause or purpose that is much larger than themselves. After signing on, new recruits are sent to basic training. They are pushed beyond any reasonable bounds and systematically broken down so that they can be rebuilt into effective soldiers. To be an effective soldier one must be willing to put others, their unit, and ultimately their country in front of self-interest.

What Are You Asking For?
I was recently talking with a successful restaurateur about some of the difficulties he was having at his business. Like many small business owners he was putting in so many hours working in this business that he had little time to think about working on his business. In particular he needed some managerial talent to help share the load. When I asked him what he was doing to find that help, he said that he had put a sign out in front of his business saying “dishwasher wanted.” He said he had hundreds of applicants but that none of them were suited for management.
