Case Studies
Doran Manufacturing - MAP Assessment
Company Overview:
Doran Manufacturing, a Cincinnati supplier of tire monitoring systems for fleets and off-the-road equipment, and manufacturer of Sleeping Child Check monitors for school buses, joined the Goering Center in August 2020. Doran and Osborne Coinage are sister companies owned by two brothers, Jeff and Todd Stegman, who named Jim Samocki and Andre McCasterto take over the leadership role of presidents of the two respective businesses in June 2020.
After taking over the roles, the two new presidents identified their need for good resources to provide them with tools to help develop their leadership skills and the talent on their teams. Both Mike Sipple, Jr, President of Centennial Inc and Pam Beigh, President of SalesCORE, two members of Jim’s own trusted network, independently referred him to The Goering Center.
Soon after the companies joined as Core Members, Jim became a member of an Executive Roundtable group and Andre opted for the Leadership Development Institute™. In addition to participating in relevant webinars, Jim chose to utilize the Member Alignment Profile™ (MAP) assessment to gain valuable feedback from the members of his Doran team.

Summary:
“The survey itself took 10 minutes so it didn’t take away from employees production time, and the results were presented in a very clear and useful format: they gave us the ‘so what?’” explained Jim Samocki. “Fortunately for us, the majority ofthe results were as we had anticipated, which reinforced our efforts. I highly recommend the MAP Assessment to any leader looking to efficiently and effectively understand how their people feel about their company.” As a result of the MAP, Jim and his leadership team compiled their list of strengths and OFIs–Opportunities for Improvement, i.e.actionable items the company would pursue –and presented these results to the employees, exhibiting leadership team alignment and goals based on the feedback of the employees.
