Trevor and his family flying with Southern Lakes Helicopters (a TracPlus customer) in Te Anau, New Zealand.


Keys to Stellar Success


With the growing success that TracPlus is experiencing under McIntyre, he is reluctant to give himself credit. Being humble is nice, but really what keys led to his success?


“I feel like a bit of a fraud in answering this question, to be honest,” he begins. “My view is that the career highlights that I have enjoyed have not been due to my efforts, but as a result of strong, cohesive teams. My view is that success as a leader comes from creating strong teams that own what they do. As an ex colleague says, leaders create leaders.”


Right now, you may wish to take notes, because McIntyre relents to detail his secret ingredients for success.


“In terms of business success, at a personal level I have tried to one, always seek to do the right thing. Two, spend more time seeking to understand than talking. Three, embrace disruption and do not be afraid to disrupt yourself. Four, have a plan based on what your customers tell you. Five, find people that are better than you and empower them. Also, hold yourself to high standards by working hard and role modeling the behaviors that you expect of your team, and communicate, communicate, communicate! Be ambitious, be authentic to who you are, and understand that the small things matter. Finally, do not be afraid to show vulnerability as a leader.” That wisdom was worth the wait.


Leisure and Family


Although such managerial nuggets come from years of experience, McIntyre also gleans what he can from books. For example, the last book he read is The Culture Engine: A Framework for Driving Results, Inspiring Your Employees, and Transforming Your Workplace by S. Chris Edmonds. His interests aren’t all work and no play though. He’s also reading Siya Kolisi: Against All Odds, a bio about a famed South African rugby player, as McIntyre enjoys coaching his children on their sport fields.


Yet, he takes special pride in one child’s off-the-field accomplishment. “My (young) son stood up for one of his friends in the face of bullying, and it was such a proud moment for my wife and I as parents. We all try to install good values into our families. Seeing them follow through in the face of adversity shows that these are not just words,” he says. It’s telling of his priorities that McIntyre sees that brave, shining moment as one of his own greatest personal accomplishments.


Needless to say, family is dear to McIntyre. He actually relocated his career to New Zealand in part so they could live closer to his wife’s family. That move also offers another benefit to the McIntyres. “We are really blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the world, and we spend as much time as possible exploring the outdoors,” he says.


Based on employee feedback and growing business numbers, it seems that TracPlus has been blessed as well.
