What it means to have a high performing team. #managementtruths #leadership #unleveredbuyout
“I respectfully disagree!” – I LOVE this phrase! This is a great read/listen that reminds us how teams that embrace healthy disagreement outperform those that avoid tough conversations. That’s exactly what happens every day with our team at Tide Rock. We challenge each other constantly—whether it’s exploring a new strategy, evaluating a transaction, or figuring out how to add more value to our portfolio companies. At the end of the day, this push-and-pull is a huge part of our culture and what sets us apart, and it is the reason why we keep growing. When we bring senior leaders into Tide Rock or our portfolio companies, we spend a lot of time interviewing, interacting, and testing candidates. We have what we call “whiteboard sessions.” There are no right or wrong answers in these sessions, but candidates have to think on their feet—AND we expect them to disagree with us. We purposely introduce new information in the middle of the discussion to challenge their perspectives, so we can see how they respond. Do they adjust their thinking with new information? How do they confidently and respectfully disagree? Healthy conflict is SO important to our culture that we want to make sure everyone is comfortable being uncomfortable to help us find the best answers. Just yesterday, someone from our management team called me and said (I’m paraphrasing), “Ryan, I heard the strategy you’re planning to execute this afternoon, and I have some concerns and a different perspective.” We also often find ourselves on opposite sides of an issue during our IC meetings. Sometimes the whole team jumps in, sometimes we sit back and watch 2-3 of us debate! After all views have been listened to and evaluated, logic & data drive us to the best path forward. I love that we have these conversations and push each other, and Tide Rock, to be the best we can be! Here’s what makes it work at Tide Rock: -Everyone’s voice matters, no matter their role. -We celebrate different views—even if we don’t go in that direction. -Disagreements are always respectful. -Egos are left at the door—it’s not about winning a debate; it’s about finding the best solution. https://lnkd.in/gUyzP_SQ

Our model in action
When we bring a new company into the Tide Rock portfolio, we focus on generating long-term sustainable growth, but sometimes we are presented with the opportunity to capitalize on potential game-changing moments. Recently, Premier LogiTech joined the Tide Rock family, and together, we worked on securing the global Motorola brand license, giving Premier exclusive rights to develop and sell Motorola-branded cable modems, Wi-Fi mesh products, and more. This deal is going to take their already strong growth and kick it into high gear! Motorola specifically wanted Premier to work with Tide Rock because of our unique model—no long-term debt, a focus on operational excellence, and a commitment to sustainable growth. We were proud to help Premier earn Motorola’s confidence, and we’re beyond excited to see how this partnership will unfold. We’re just getting started—and if this is any indication of what’s ahead, Premier’s future looks pretty amazing. https://lnkd.in/gzPDbCeV
This summer has been one for the books at Tide Rock, and we’re thrilled to announce not one, not two, but three new #acquisitions that will drive significant growth for our company. First up, Premier LogiTech of #Dallas TX offers a comprehensive technology logistics and services platform that supports the entire electronics supply chain and circular economy. As part of this investment, Premier has also acquired the global brand license rights for Motorola's networking products, becoming the company's exclusive partner for the development, production, and distribution of cable modems, WiFi routers, range extenders, powerline network adapters, access points, and 5G fixed wireless access products. On the East Coast, we’re excited to enter the commercial and wholesale bakery industry by adding Glenn Wayne Bakery of Bohemia, NY, to our portfolio. Glenn Wayne’s strong reputation for producing high-volume, high-quality baked goods—including donuts, muffins, pastries, cookies, brownies, and gluten-free products—allows Tide Rock to participate in one of the most resilient categories within the food industry. Last but not least, Tide Rock continues to invest in making Full Circle Electronics a leader in IT asset management, disposition, and electronics recycling with the acquisition of Global Electronic Recycling (GER) of Phoenix, AZ. And we’re just getting started. We’ll be sharing more about these companies in the coming days as we carry this momentum through the rest of the year. Stay tuned! #unleveredbuyout #growth #techlogistics #commercialbakery #foodindustry #itam #itad #recycling

What an amazing Investor Day we had with our larger institutional investors last week! We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and made it such a special event. This was the first time we’ve shared this level of detail about our playbook, and the feedback was phenomenal. One investor who participates in 10-20 investor meetings a year, said it was “the best presentation I have seen” and that we have “set a new bar for what a playbook should look like.” Our playbook, built on an LMS with custom access and content for each role within our portfolio companies, features 150+ modules, around 100 videos, and about 450 pages of process documentation, templates, how-tos, and more across value creation, corporate development, talent, accounting, integration, sales, and marketing. This playbook has been key to creating amazing consistency in our results, growing the legacies of the founders we acquire companies from, and generating top decile+ yields and returns for our investors. Here are a few quotes we received from current and prospective investors: “Hands down the best investor day I've seen. Excellent event.” “Your playbook sets a standard for what they need to look like.” “This was a home run.” “Heard a lot of AI pitches, but this was the first truly credible one I've heard.” "If I wasn’t already an investor, I’d sign my subscription agreement today." These kind words mean the world to us and keep us motivated to keep pushing the envelope. Here’s a quick highlight reel of the day. Thanks for being part of our journey and supporting our vision. Here’s to more growth ahead! #unleveredbuyout #vgs
