John was very clear and up front when he took the reigns of our TEC group that he is a numbers and metrics person. Initially I was concerned but then I remembered that this was one of the key reasons I joined TEC…to be challenged and held accountable. The way in which John shares his extensive “BIG” company experience and makes it relevant to me as small family business owner is very much appreciated especially while making me feel that he genuinely cares about my health, happiness and well-being.

Sincerely grateful,

John Underwood

His insights challenge me to think critically, pushing me to step outside of my comfort zone and consider new perspectives. Through his guidance, I’ve been able to refine my leadership approach, becoming more intentional with my actions and decisions, especially as they relate to gross margin. John’s focus on accountability has influenced my ability to set clearer goals and achieve better outcomes through strategic planning. His ability focus on metrics has also been key in enhancing my decision-making process and tracking our progress. Overall, John’s leadership has made a significant impact on both my personal growth and the success of my business.

John is a very number driven person, his background in accounting combined with senior management experience makes his advice and perspective to be that which is important to entrepreneurs. We typically run on gut and feel[ings] and use our people skills for success. The missing ingredient is tracking, measuring and reporting to numbers. John brings the two together and the results in our business in a short time have been nothing short of an “aha” moment.

Cheers,

Blaine
