Quotable Moments:
- “It’s not necessarily how fast the machine works or how great the production line; it’s also the engagement of the people and taking care of your people and the culture that makes a huge difference.”
- “We can have the best software, the best machines, the best process, and if we are not leaning into our teams who actually are doing the work, we’re missing a massive component.”
- “I knew that getting another job with another company was just going to be the same crap, different paycheck; then I knew it was time to make a big change.”
- “Chances are good you’ve got everything you need right under your nose today, and you just have to wake them up.”
- “I’m the CEO of me, and I’m going to treat my career like a business.”
