For this week’s episode we are joined by JC or Juan Carlos Aragon. He is a long term 30+ year veteran of the global optical industry.

He has been my colleague and my boss in the past and he is truly one of the most experienced and wise leaders that I have had the pleasure to work with.

He is a proven successful global business and people leader with over 39 years of multi-functional experience in establishing, managing and profitably-growing successful businesses in Asia Pacific, the Americas and Europe, within medical device companies. 
Currently he is CEO of Visioneering Technologies (ASX: VTI), a growing vision care company within the myopia management and prebyopia segments of the market.



In this episode Juan shares:
His early career and the first time he became a leader
Having to let people go during the GFC
Dealing with missing budgets and budget cut backs
How he handles himself and his team when the target can’t be handled
Handling the team when the product becomes unsaleable
What he did when he has to work with bosses and colleagues he didn’t respect

Key Quotes

“Once you lose that respect it's very difficult to work with someone as a boss or a colleague.”

“If you pay your sales commissions on a quarterly basis, but management is compensated on an annual basis there is a bit of a disconnect there.”

“If you're miserable at work then you're not going to do a good job.”
