“You won’t find a more passionate individual than Dan Krick when it comes to building a culture of people with strong integrity and high drive. I have seen firsthand his desire and enthusiastic ability to grow leaders and other’s by focusing on their natural talents. Understanding people both personally and professionally is a gift.

Most people hire for skill, but he teaches Fit, Talent and Skill in that order every time for every hire and your organization will be successful. I’ve personally witnessed this approach and I’m proud to have been part of this methodology in building a culture that allowed an organization to reach heights that some thought was impossible. It’s an approach that has served me well in other organizations and will continue for years to come.

Dan’s strong self-awareness and humble man of faith makes him the kind of guy you look forward to going to work with every day. He’s both engaging as well as authentic and I’m honored to call him a former boss, mentor and friend.”

“I sought Dan out as a mentor once I became a new leader at the Nebraska Safety Council. Over the years, I had the pleasure of working with Dan on several levels and recognized his ability to shape culture at a workplace to lead amazing results. Dan has been very patient and empowering for me. He guides but does not push his agenda. He allows me to realize and build my competencies in a way that works for me. His unique ability to understand people on a deeper and empathetic level is priceless. I am blessed to have Dan as a mentor and friend.”

“I have worked with Dan over the last 7 years to transform and build the Hexagon Group, organically and through M&A. In late 2016 we acquired our most worthy competitor, Xperion GmbH out of Kassel, Germany. Mindful of the relatively low probability of success when integrating former competitors, Dan took lead in designing a 12 months’ integration process focused on a value-based culture, strategic alignment and harvesting of significant synergies. Our objectives were exceeded, and all of Xperion’s key executives and individual contributors chose to stay on and embrace the changes. The key was Dan’s true care for the individuals he met and his courage to display his own vulnerability.”

“Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska contracted Dan Krick to facilitate our two-day strategic planning retreat. It was an incredibly easy decision because at that point we were already several weeks into our Leading Through Serving workshop with him. The leadership team at CSS was new, and made up of executive and mid-level managers across five offices in southern Nebraska. Dan leaned in immediately with his expertise, experience, and empathy. Dan's own leadership throughout the workshop engaged staff and got us all really excited about being leaders! Dan found a way to connect with and support each member of the team. Dan was an integral part of making not only the workshop and retreat a success, but his smart and humble character has had a lasting impact on the culture of our agency.”
