Jeff McManus, navigating a pandemic, has presented leaders with new challenges beyond the expected: keeping employees safe, as well as motivated, while still providing customers with low-risk, high-standard deliverables. Jeff knows the key is found, not in the numbers, but in the people. He understands the power of relationships. This is the human side of facilities, where loyal brands are grown, and memorable impacts are made in the lives of customers and staff. Jeff’s methods of ramping up organizational performance are documented in his book Growing Weeders into Leaders, and it has made waves across the facilities industry. In it, he offers his unique techniques to motivate staff from underperforming to winning national championships. As a keynote speaker and webinar leader, Jeff coaches others to find, define, and actualize their teams.
Thought Leader Session Description
W.A.T.E.R.

(Leadership)
According to the Harvard Business Review (Oct. 5, 2016), “Serious leaders understand that, both by design and default, they’re always leading by example. Some want to “lead from the front” while others prefer “leading from behind.” But everyone senses their success — and failure — at leading by example is integral to their “leadership brand.” Smart leaders want to build their brand.” In this research-based leadership development session, we will explore the acrostic W.A.T.E.R.: Walk the Walk, Accept Your Role, Take Them on a Journey with You, Equip, Encourage, Enlarge, and Recognize Talent.
