Growing Weeders Into Leaders With Jeff McManus

In today's fast-paced, constantly evolving business landscape, a strong leadership team is more important than ever. But many organizations fail to realize that leadership is not a quality that can be taught or imposed from the top down. Instead, it must be nurtured and developed from within. How can organizations identify and invest in employees who have the potential to be great leaders?   Here to discuss leadership along with insights from his book, Growing Weeders Into Leaders, is Jeff McManus. At 37, the University of Mississippi hired Jeff as the Director of the newly formed Landscape Services Department. As one of the most junior directors on campus, his immediate challenges were staggering - exceptionally low morale with an unacceptable lack of productivity. So, he established a four-step process he calls “The GROW System." Great teams, Raising results, Offense scores, and Winning Attitudes are the four things that formed Jeff's GROW System. Join Jeff as he talks about growing leaders and how organizations identify and invest in employees who have the potential to be great leaders.
