About Scott Ward

Leading small businesses to profitable growth and stronger valuations. Not only as part of the leadership team but as a key advisor as fractional CFO, advisory board member, individual coach that help business leaders grow their business influence. If you don't have a strong strategic and/or succession plan, I can lead your small- or medium-sized business out of its rut or downward spiral. Simple changes can engage your employees and create increased profits through strategic perspectives. I've proven it in small and large organizations. I drive ownership thinking-everyone thinks like an owner with or without an ESOP-and discover where best practices-like Open Book Management, Lean, Theory of Constraints-can advance the enterprise and employee engagement, by driving change from the top.'they' won't change until 'you' change.#strategy #successionplanning A good day is when a cross-functional team, after much discussion and sharing of perspectives, has an "ah-hah!" moment that creatively takes us to new performance levels. Most people dread the Monday morning alarm clock. I transform corporate cultures through simple methods (e.g. starting meetings on time to show respect) and focus on achievements using world-class techniques so that people would rather be at work.(I've had employees say that.) They have a high sense of accomplishment and contribution. They are motivated by making progress, being empowered, working together and focusing their talents and strengths on value-added work rather than time-wasting, unimportant I've written a couple of eBooks:"Servant Leadership Practice"(2nd edition now in paperback), “Quick and Easy Business Plan”,"PhD in Leadership" and "Guerrilla Change" available on Barnes & Noble and Amazon. Most recently “Jesus on a Monday Morning: Discussion on the Sermon on the Mount” in 2 volumes has been released for those dreading the workplace. I've taught Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, Open Book Management, Servant Leadership, Employee Engagement achieving transformation and turnaround.#servantleadership Specialties: Growth and succession strategies for manufacturing companies
