In this episode we have the pleasure of interviewing Bill Canady on the show, and Bill is the CEO of OTC Industrial Technologies and Arrowhead Engineered Products, with a combined annual revenue of over $2 BILLION!
Bill has over 30 years of experience as a global business executive in a variety of industries and markets focused on industrial and consumer products and services. As a leader, he concentrates on aligning with key stakeholders to set a clear and compelling vision that will rally an organization to drive growth, control cost, and increase profitability. One of the keys to his success is he develops strong leaders and management teams and establishes deep relationships. His experience encompasses global public, private, and private equity (sponsor) owned companies.
Bill graduated summa cum laude from Elmhurst University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and received his MBA from the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. And the best part of all of this, he is a fellow a veteran of the United States Navy.
In this episode Bill discuses his custom strategy to business – 80/20 Principle for CEO’s. In fact, he just wrote a book “The 80/20 CEO, Take Command of Your Business in 100 Days”. Bill discusses his main pillars to standardize processes:
- Where you want to go
- Strategy
- Process and actions
- Focus on the things you can control
Bill takes us further into his 80/20 concept by optimizing where you are making your money and analyzing who are your best products and your best clients. Identify your best clients that are buying your best, most profitable products, and shift significant resources to provide a phenomenal customer experience.
I have also pre-ordered Bill’s book, as a coach and consultant I personally resonate with Bill’s method and am very much looking forward to receiving it. You can pre-order on amazon now and it is available on Feb 27, 2024.
