The Secret Sauce: A Culture of Connection = A Thriving Organization

The Secret Sauce: A Culture of Connection = A Thriving Organization

  • Kirk Aubry
  • Savage

Tugboat Institute® member Kirk Aubry leads Savage, a transportation company based in Utah that moves and manages critical materials. In the years he has led the company, they have seen impressive growth. Rather than simply sit back and admire their success, Kirk asked himself, why? He spent dedicated time and effort exploring this question, and has reached a clear conclusion: connection.

In this Tugboat Institute talk, Kirk shares his belief that connection is, in his words, “The Secret Sauce” that has allowed for Savage’s success and growth. Connection amongst team members, with their customers, and with their community. This realization is, in many ways, a great confirmation of the Evergreen® model and mindset, because creating connection starts with communication, care, and a focus on People.
