"From the PressTime simulation, participants gained a good overview of basic business practices and learned to build strong teams. The simulation also provided a common reference point for discussing solutions to future business problems and the challenges of problem solving across cultural boundaries. Combined with the feedback from the Change Style Indicator, these two learning exercises led the developing managers in China and India to create actionable goals with performance accountability. From the PressTime simulation, they learned something about themselves as leaders that you can't get out of a book. As a result, they were better prepared to manage their behavior as leaders and to influence positively the management development of others through the examples they provided in their own leadership."
– Rich Boucher, Director of Leadership Development, Motorola University
