Anthony J. Carrano
President
Anthony is a respected leader whose clear communication style and task driven mentality has excelled his career over the past 10 years. As an Oral Robert’s University student, Anthony served as a special projects coordinator and Associate Director where he quickly learned about leadership, project management, team training and organizational acuity. In 2000, he brought his experience to faithHighway- a brand of Ignite 360- where he started out as a sales rep and soon excelled to become Chief Operating Officer, later becoming the President. He’s able to see the big picture and then work backward to devise and implement a plan, assign responsibility and authority, then provide relevant feedback measures and metrics to evaluate its success and adjust accordingly. He knows that to truly be an effective leader one must: “touch the heart before asking for the hand.”-Show you care more about a person than what they can do for you.
How do you balance home life with work life?
Well, I try. Whenever I am home in the evenings or on weekends, I am all there for and with Deb and the boys, and make an effort to do things together, from working on the yard to playing games to just going out to do family activities. In life, you can spend time on three areas: work, family, and hobbies. I have two…work and family.
What makes you laugh?
The boys…they come up with the funniest, most creative things. My wife and I enjoy the following TV shows: The Office and Modern Family.
Anything else you want to share about yourself?
Just a few of my favorite quotes:
“Truth is the anvil in which we hammer out ideas, not people.”
“Champions are not made in the ring, they are merely recognized there.”
“Challenges not only build character – they reveal it.”
