Anderson says, “We are in the business of improving the world community by empowering people to lead more effectively.” ILS gives back to the community by giving five percent of its net income to a variety of charities that help educate, promote arts, help the environment or encourage world peace.
Anderson has worked with many family business leaders, drawing from his experience in his own family’s business. Companies he’s worked with include Elmer’s Products, Worthington Industries, Accent Energy, Honda of America, Nationwide, and George J. Igel & Co.
