Call or email Tony at 630-338-6018 or [email protected] Like many companies, Rootstock was born out of passion and necessity. During his twenty years of delivering substantial bottom-line results in sales, marketing and brand strategy - Tony "kind of stunk" (his words) as a leader. He "wasn't the worst leader of all time" (his words again) but after falling short yet again to get his teams to gel, he took a break from leading and went back to '"just selling". Over time a nagging feeling that he had to get back to leading got the better of him. Humbled by his shortcomings, he sought to learn. Early in the journey he became utterly obsessed with all things leaders and team. He uncovered game-changing resources, new methods and great mentors along the way. He became thoroughly convinced that there are a vital few skills and methods that, when combined and applied, get uncommon results. He assembled a powerful tool kit. He's now dedicating his life and career helping values-driven organizations develop great leaders and unleash the power of their teams.
