Automotive Service and Repair Week (ASRW), in conjunction with DuPont Performance Coatings, has announced that Dick Cross will deliver the keynote presentation titled “Unlock Your Hidden Greatness” at the Opening General Session scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 11, from 8:45-10 a.m.
Through eight “hands-on” turnarounds, more than 100 CEO consulting assignments (including at CARSTAR, where he transitioned to CEO from 2006 to 2008), teaching at Harvard and two partnerships in private equity, Cross has developed a point of view about hidden greatness residing in most companies and how to unlock it. Elaborating on concepts from his Amazon best-seller, “Just Run It! Running an Exceptional Business Is Easier Than You Think,” he will deliver an easy-to-understand framework on how to be successful.
“We are pleased to sponsor Dick Cross as the ASRW keynote speaker and show our continued support for the industry,” said Mike Bennett, marketing manager, DuPont Performance Coatings, North America. “Dick knows how to run a successful business. He will share his vision, offering a roadmap of key actionable ways to achieve business success. Attendees will leave with a feeling of empowerment, which is a great way to start ASRW.”
Added ASA President Ron Pyle, “Attendees are going to walk away from this session not only with a better understanding of their business, but also with practical, easy-to-implement tools for success. With roots on both sides of the industry, Dick Cross is a perfect choice for this audience, and we look forward to another powerful start to ASRW.”
Tickets for the Opening General Session are included in the purchase of a Super Pass, or are $35 if purchased individually and may be purchased online or on-site in New Orleans.
