How Adam Croneis Played to His Strengths and Found Success at Michelin North America, Inc.
Adam Croneis, Zone Retail Specialist for Michelin North America, Inc., was diagnosed with a learning disability in reading and writing expression at a young age. Early in his career, Adam was reluctant to share that he had a disability because of the stigma he feared people would associate with it. Since joining Michelin 15 years ago, Adam has excelled in his career, working his way up from an Area Sales Manager to a Key Account Manager to a Regional Sales Manager, and now serves as a Zone Retail Specialist responsible for managing Michelin's field operations with Costco. "Michelin is a company that exemplifies its value of respect for people," said Adam. "Throughout my career, I have been afforded opportunities to create a career path that plays to my strengths." As with many people with differing abilities, Adam learned to lean on his strengths to be successful. He is quick to identify sales patterns, uses his interpersonal skills to build strong relationships and solves complex problems by identifying solutions not often seen by others. "The way I go about solving complex problems isn't always linear," said Adam. "I process information differently than my peers that often leads to solutions that may be unorthodox." These traits separate Adam from his peers and have earned him awards and recognition from both Michelin and his customers. As a manager, Adam uses his experience to help others. "I find that my life experiences help me improve inclusiveness in the workplace. I try my best to ensure everyone feels welcomed, their contributions valued and their opinions respected. Michelin creates a work environment that allows this approach to flourish," said Adam. Adam serves on the leadership team of capABLE, one of Michelin's business resource groups that promotes an environment of inclusion and support for Michelin employees and their families with differing abilities and special needs. Michelin North America, Inc. is honored to be selected by Forbes magazine as one of its Top 10 "America's Best Employers" for 2019 and "America's Best Employers for Diversity" in 2020 and chosen by FORTUNE magazine as one of the "World's Most Admired Companies" in the Motor Vehicle Parts category for 2020.
