Episode Description from the Publisher

What separates companies that scale smoothly from those stuck in constant firefighting mode? Hector Sanchez, founder of PCK Partners with 18 years leading supply chain and procurement teams at GE Healthcare and major aerospace manufacturers, reveals it's not the processes—it's the people, and more specifically, how you lead them. In this conversation with Vince Perry, Hector breaks down how he slashed employee turnover from 30% to 8% without throwing money at the problem, just by fundamentally changing the culture. From coaching high school soccer to leading multi-million dollar transformations, Hector explains why the fundamentals of great leadership are identical whether you're on the field or in the boardroom. He shares the exact moment he realized that loud voices in the room aren't always the smartest ones, and how empowering his quietest team member became the key to driving change faster. You'll discover why breaking big visions into small, incremental wins gets buy-in while grand announcements create resistance, and the critical question he asks teams to make them realize changes need to happen—without him having to demand it. Hector pulls back the curtain on the biggest mistake founders make when hiring executives (hint: you can't retain control and expect top talent to succeed), why living your core values matters infinitely more than posting them on a wall, and the surprising truth about working with an $8 million business versus a $60 million operation. Whether you're running a collision shop, a nonprofit, or a Fortune 500 division, Hector proves that a business is a business—it just has fewer zeros. If you're tired of watching talented people walk out the door or struggling to get your team aligned on the vision, this episode delivers the leadership toolkit you've been missing.
