This episode of Driven to Lead features our guest Todd Sager who shares his story of founding AWE from very modest beginnings 34 years ago, and building it over time to what is now a major supplier of performance exhaust systems for the automotive industry. Todd attributes AWE's long track record of success in great part to his vision that you must build your team of people first and then let them build the best products. As a result, the company culture asks each member of the AWE team to live by four simple, but compelling core values: 1. I Build it Better, 2. I help my team mates, 3. I look at everything through the customer's eyes, and 4. I own it. Please join us for this fascinating story that focuses on how enabling your team produces remarkable levels of proficiency, product excellence and profitability.

In this episode of Driven to Lead, Kathryn Schifferle shares her journey as a serial entrepreneur who has started seven companies over the years. In her current company, Work Truck Solutions, she has filled a critical gap in the needed technology to understand up-fit configurations, and help buyers find the work truck they need within the inventory available nationally. As she continues to innovate and serve her client community, she emphasizes the importance of having the right company culture to assure success, Her simple, three part description of this culture is: 1. make sure you have the right people on-board (exiting those who are not right for the organization), 2. delegate strategically by trusting the capable leaders in the organization to understand what needs to be done and giving them the resources and authority to do it, and, 3. create a safe environment of mutual human respect within the company where all ideas are open for discussion and where collaboration can flourish.
