"Steve presents with a rare combination of expertise and humility."
As President and CEO, Jack has helped grow the diverse SRC Holdings family of ten businesses into a leading brand in the automotive and off-highway markets with annual sales nearing $1 billion and a workforce of over 2,000 employee-owners.
SRC’s journey began in 1983 when Jack led an employee buyout of a single factory from International Harvester. From its start, SRC embraced a new system for running a business. Jack details that journey and the “open-book management” practices SRC adopted in his acclaimed books, The Great Game of Business and A Stake in the Outcome, which he co-authored with Bo Burlingham. Jack also wrote a third book, Change The Game: Saving the American Dream by Closing the Gap Between The Haves And The Have-Nots with Darren Dahl.
Under Jack’s leadership, and their commitment to employee empowerment and ownership, business literacy, and financial transparency, SRC has earned numerous accolades over the years, including the National Business Ethics Award, the Business Enterprise Trust Award, and the Txemi Cantera International Prize in Bilbao, Spain. Jack also became the first sitting CEO to be named to an Executive Fellowship at the Rutgers Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing.
Away from work, Jack is a dedicated philanthropist in his community of Springfield, Missouri, including founding the Boys and Girls Clubs “Invest to Invest Club” to support youth programs and foster business understanding among club members. Jack is also devoted to his family, celebrating 51 years of marriage with his wife, Betsy, and cherishing the roles of father to five children and grandfather to 13. When he’s not at home with his family, you can find Jack bass fishing out on the Table Rock Lake where he’s still chasing the big one that got away.
