Business leaders are responsible for sales, marketing, product development, delivery, finance, human resources, legal, facilities, information technology and everything else in rapidly changing environments. It is not an easy task and often leads to a lack of focus, overwork, frustration, lagging performance. Jeff coaches leaders on how to make more money, develop their team, manage their time and take their business to the next level.
