Q:

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a company like yours?

|
A:

PERSPECTIVE.
I do not select my attorney, accountant, coach, or consultant because they know something...professionals all know their stuff. I select a professional based on their perspective...their composite view of success, failure, experience, knowledge, understanding, and beliefs.
My perspective derives from 60+ years of business and personal decision-making and that of the hundreds of business owners and executives that honored me by sharing their insights, ideas, knowledge, experience, and practices.
When you hire Jeffrey E. Reeves, you not only benefit from what I know but also - and more importantly – from my perspective embodied in my proprietary system for strategic planning, problem solving, and masterminding.

Leadership…An Informed Perspective
I have published articles, written books, taken courses, done extensive research, and earned degrees, but have not made the study of leadership the central focus of my career.
On the other hand, I’ve worked with and studied exceptional leaders in Fortune 100 companies and in dozens of businesses ranging in size from a few employees to a few hundred employees. All of these leaders have set a standard that I find worth emulating. In addition, I have been in leadership roles—sometimes successfully and other times not so much—in most of my fifty-plus years in business.
I share my perspective here with the hope that you may find that perspective useful. I also hope that many who read this brief article add their perspective, which will help me and others grow as leaders, and further the understanding of what it takes to exercise leadership effectively.
Finally, I make a clear distinction between leadership and management.
• Leadership is about how you deal with people.
• Management is about dealing with things and processes.
Leaders create the vision. Managers create plans. Your vision motivates people to action; plans are an outcome that guides your team toward making your vision a reality. Leadership and management are the two elements of being-in-charge and being responsible. The ability to discern which element one is dealing with or which is dominant at any moment in each unique situation is—in my view—the main characteristic of a great leader. I call this characteristic wisdom.
