Over Gary B. Cohen's career, he's embarked on several entrepreneurial ventures, each offering unique lessons in leadership and business strategy. His first major entrepreneurial success was with ACI Telecentrics, a national company, that he co-founded with Rick Diamond. They grew the company from a modest beginning to a workforce of 2,200 employees and successfully took it public on NASDAQ. This experience, coupled with the challenges they faced, including the impactful decisions regarding business financing, offers practical insights into the complexities of entrepreneurial growth.
Gary's latest endeavor involves coaching over 300 entrepreneurial leaders, primarily entrepreneurs, across various industries. This experience not only honed his coaching skills but has also deepened his understanding of the diverse challenges leaders face. During this time, Gary authored "Just Ask Leadership: Why Great Managers Always Get the Best Results," published by McGraw Hill. This still-in-print book reflects his belief in the power of inquiry over instruction, a philosophy Gary believes is essential for effectiveness.
