One reason might be their partner network and management consulting companies , with whom they work to develop their leadership .
Jake said Travis doesn ’ t just talk about the “ tactical side of things , but also the mental side of things — dealing with conflict , how to better communicate , and focusing on the mental side of things to develop as leaders to help Jemco .”
First , they have two companies supporting their efforts to improve communication and conflict resolution . One is The Yes Works adaptability training with Principle Aaron Schmookler ( Tacoma , Washington ), and the other is Crestcom Training ( Washington division in Olympia ) with Manuel Martinez . Aaron and Manny are focused on turning managers into leaders who work in various soft and management skills areas .
