Jason Thomas has persevered through the pandemic to acquire one of his top competitors, growing his team from 260 to 400+ and gaining significant market share.
Known to Vistage peers as “the first person to volunteer to help,” Jason’s humility is a reflection of a mentor’s early influence in his career. “I was very decisive — a nice way to say I was very cut-throat,” Jason shares of his younger self, his lesson learned hard work isn’t good work if you’re not being authentic.
Jason’s other tips:
- Confer with your team on decisions. Don’t let someone far-removed make the call.
- Hire people better at their roles than you could ever be. Give them tools to succeed.
- Provide the vision. Don’t dictate how to get there.
