The company’s list of accolades is impressive, including recognition as a “Cisco Gold Partner,” “Microsoft Gold Partner,” recipient of the Inc. 5000 award, and named a “Providence Business News Best Place to Work Company.” Atrion’s success ultimately led to its acquisition by Carousel Industries in 2016, further underscoring the impact of Tim’s leadership.

“The Intentional Leader” is not just another book on leadership; it’s a profound exploration of the actions and outlooks that define true leadership. It delves into the essence of leadership, from the pivotal moments when tough decisions must be made to those unguarded moments when our authentic selves are laid bare. The book underscores the importance of openness as the key to genuinely effective leadership, echoing Emerson’s words, “The reason why the world lacks unity and lies broken and in heaps is because man is disunited with himself.”
In a world overflowing with ‘leaders,’ Tim Hebert has successfully defined a unique breed – the Intentional Leader. He describes this breed as one that provides clear, aligned, compassionate guidance rooted in a strong core ideology. Intentional Leadership is not merely responsive; it is transformational. It is not prejudiced; it is inclusive. It is not transactional; it is innovative, daring, and inspirational. Drawing on his vast experience as a business leader and consultant, Tim provides practical advice and universally applicable guidance that can fortify leaders across all industries.
