My Leadership style is servant-leader which unlike traditional top-down leadership models, servant leadership inverts the typical organizational hierarchy. The leader acts more as a steward focused on serving team members rather than commanding them. Its core principals are 1) Putting the needs of others first, especially employees and team members, 2)Focusing on the growth, well-being, and empowerment of followers, 3)Sharing power and decision-making rather than accumulating it and 4)Aiming to develop other leaders.

Reviews

Under John’s leadership we completed our SWOT analysis and with John’s expert oversight and guidance we transformed the company by shedding non-profitable clientele, shut underperforming facilities and increased productivity of remaining assets
by utilizing new managerial metrics to monitor shop floor productivity throughout the enterprise and increased the cash to cash cycle with additional timeliness on customer turns, customer profitability and collectability. John leads by his example and his willingness to mentor and acknowledge all company personal.

What sets John apart is his ability to provide high-level financial guidance typically associated with a full-time CFO but in a flexible, cost-effective manner. Their experience in budgeting, forecasting, and financial performance review has been invaluable in optimizing our financial processes and driving overall business success.
