Listen Later

What happens when leaders start thinking like coaches?

In this episode, Sierra sits down with Jack Sharkey, VP of Distribution for Orgill’s East Region, to unpack his powerful leadership philosophy: “People move the numbers. Move the people, and you’ll move the numbers.”

Drawing from more than four decades of experience, from his early days at UPS to leading large-scale operations at Orgill, Jack shares how focusing on people first drives performance, shapes culture, and builds teams that win together.

Whether you are leading on the field, on the floor, or from the front office, this conversation will inspire you to lead with both purpose and presence. When leaders focus on growing their people, the results naturally follow.

Tune in for practical lessons, coaching insights, and a reminder that leadership is not about managing the numbers. It is about growing the people behind them.
