MAC is pleased to announce that Russ Green of MACKAYBEN™ has joined the group.
“The addition of Russ expands the MAC capability to serve both dealers and manufacturers. He brings to MAC his real-life boardroom experience in executive management, sales and marketing leadership, mergers and acquisitions and business growth strategies,” MAC Co-Founder, George Russell said. Russ has a unique skill of recognizing business efficiencies and brings a balance of leadership, business management, training, and coaching to the MAC team.
Russ through MACKAYBEN™ has developed a network of “the next generation of ag leaders;” a program directed at maximizing the leadership potential of the next generation millennials who have accepted management roles in their existing businesses.
“George Russell and the other MAC Advisors are a strong, diverse and agile team. I look forward to collaborating with fellow MAC Advisors to bring strategies to elevate the client organization’s performance, especially in their people. I enjoy the challenge of working alongside companies creating strategies to develop their managers and maximize the performance of their employee teams, Green said.
Bill Mayes in the Media
At this year's AED Summit, DIS asked industry experts to share their insights into what construction equipment dealers can expect in the year ahead. Here's what Bill Mayes had to say about labor shortages.
He continued with, "The new workforce will not accept the ‘my way or the highway’ mentality of the past. Don’t think of this as good or bad, it simply is what it is. Dealers will need to ensure that they are nurturing and growing a group of new managers that can grow the business based on a common vision without having to be told what to do and how to do it every step of the way. The good news is that this is trainable behavior.”
