Darrin Finley founded P.O.C. Management Services in 2004 based on his passion for teaching the principles of management and leadership. Fueling this passion was his belief that management and leadership excellence are essential for organizational success across all industries. Darrin recognized early in his professional career that the disciplines of management/leadership were often viewed as esoteric "soft-skills" that were more art than science and thus couldn't be taught - the old standby that "good managers/leaders were born not made". Instead, Darrin believed that it was a focus on leadership development - more so than the "nuts and bolts" - that distinguished high performing organizations from the also rans.
Guided by the principles of management and leadership greats such as Peter Drucker, W. Edwards Deming, and Stephen Covey, Darrin developed the foundation of the services offered by P.O.C.; consultation and training on topics such as strategic planning, marketing planning, organizational development and design, operations improvement, supervisory skills, performance management, personal productivity, customer service, and diversity.
Darrin began his professional career in the financial services industry as a management trainee and rose to senior executive management in a wide variety of industries ranging from banking to hospitality with both privately held and publicly traded companies. He has been recognized for both his leadership and expertise in operations improvement and organizational development. An accomplished financial manager, Darrin has managed multi-million-dollar budgets, provided leadership for relatively large administrative production staffs numbering in the hundreds, and played key roles in developing long-term strategies to improve efficiency and increase revenue.
