If you polled 100 startup founders about the kinds of things to expect during the process of a company acquisition, you’d be hard pressed to find any of them who would suggest that the company being bought would continue to grow exponentially during and after the acquisition process. But that’s exactly what happened as Jason Eckenroth (website) led his team through the acquisition of ShipCompliant by a larger company. It’s a testament to the leadership and relational skill Jason applied to the situation as he remained on the ground in the company to ensure that things went well for his team. You can hear Jason’s inspiring story on this episode, so be sure you take the time to listen.Intentional personal and company growthJason Eckenroth built his company, ShipCompliant, as a Saas provider in a highly niched market. His software was the no-brainer solution for most companies within the space so growth happened fairly quickly. But even with that kind of growth he realized that without a clear focus on intentional growth – both personally and as a company – everything could stagnate. During this conversation Jason shares his story and outlines the path he took to ensure that his company and his team were able to continue breaking through to new levels of achievement and growth, even during an acquisition. It’s an uncommon story that you’ll want to hear.Devoting more energy to his team during the acquisitionAs the acquisition of ShipCompliant moved forward Jason Eckenroth realized that his team was going to need even more of his attention and help if they were to make the transition healthily.

There are many lessons to learn from Jason’s example and he shares the insights and resources he used to lead with such integrity, on this episode of the podcast.Scroll below for links and show notes…Enjoy!Selected Links from the EpisodeShipCompliantBOOK: No Vision All DriveTech StarsPinpoint TechnologyBOOK: Walk Away WealthyBOOK: Finish BigBOOK: Small GiantsBOOK: TractionFirespringBOOK: The Empowerment DynamicShow Notes[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[The post Jason Eckenroth Reveals What Happened Immediately After His Company Was Acquired appeared first on Andy Seth.
