Why work with Aaron?
“I’ve known Aaron for almost forty years. When I made the jump from executive to author, I sought Aaron’s counsel because I knew he was already on board with my principles on culture and leadership and his advice would be sound. Aaron’s an incredibly talented and bright individual whose done incredible things in the business world. But in spite of his success, Aaron’s also one of the most humble and ‘WE-oriented’ leaders I’ve ever known. He just gets it. He’s long realized a truth many are still struggling to find—teams are much higher functioning when they know their leader is committed to their growth and success. And I sense Aaron’s team never questions his commitment to them. If it weren’t the case, he wouldn’t be such a successful entrepreneur with a core team that has largely remained the same since the early days of his journey.”
