Dr. Jack Skalican

“When people say that leadership is important, what often gets missed is that individual leaders are important. So many organizations push and stretch their leaders to manage toward limited measurable results, and in my experience, many of these leaders have reached their breaking point. That’s where I can help, by guiding and inspiring leaders to see other possibilities, to create a more positive vision that summons a different kind of workplace. Inspired leaders will not just generate business results but do it in a way that nurtures the human spirit. I believe that is how you create positive results far beyond the current metrics.”
