Paris Cole, 2019 CEO of Influence

From the Idaho Business Review

Paris Cole believes people flourish when given the opportunity and flexibility to do their best work. For Cole, this means hiring the best people and giving them the freedom to succeed by not micromanaging them.

At the core of his management style is the Golden Rule: treating people the way he’d want to be treated. “That’s what I want for our people here,” Cole says. “However long they are here, I want them to feel like they are challenged, that they were given opportunities to do their best and that they look back on their careers here with fondness.”
