LEADERSHIP: DEVELOPING A STRATEGY

This segment is developed and presented by Jim Buchanan, a decorated and proven Military combat officer who understands the need to produce results and lead a group to a sucessful outcome. This is not meant to be a handholding exercise, but to identify weaknesses and overcome them and to be set apart as somone who can focus on the discipline to develop traits that will make a difference in the success of a company.

LEADERSHIP SYSTEM

Controlled and targeted leadership development creates maximum control of the learning process. Supplying executive quality personnel with an organized system rather than totally relying on individual ability to achieve this.  A Leadership System insures that the vision and initiative of the individual is properly prioritized.  It should relate the goals of the company to define goals and objectives of all personnel and provide systems for monitoring the progress of those personnel.  
 

CREDIBILITY

If you have never done it, how can you lead others to success? Do you want an individual with no practical experience to tell you what to do, or would someone who has planned, grown, led, and sold an international specialized logistics operation be the better choice to show you how to reach your success? Taking your part of the market, increasing your ROI, and becoming a leader in the industry is not attained by talking about it. It comes from action and experienced hands on leadership.

"Management is for managers. Usually lower or middle position personnel who have not yet attained the comfort level of being a leader. Processes and procedures are managed. People are led. The greater the stressful situation, the more an individual has to be a leader. To point and click is management. Developing the processor is leadership. Leadership knows how to navigate and affect different results. Management is not necessarily looking to develop, train, and motivate as a long term goal. Management is more focused on short term results-which is quite important, but will not achieve a long term success environment through example and trust." J. Buchanan

EXPERIENCE  

Strategic and financial leadership requires direction from those who have overcome, adapted, and have made the hard sacrifices and decisions. Talking about change is differerent from taking the required action to effect the right results when surrounded with challenges. Buchanan Trucking Consultants not only have been to the mountain, but they have led the way to the top with guidance and experience.

Whether one is landing a Medevac Huey in a hot LZ, leading an infantry assault in a SE Asian jungle, or turning around the culture and motivation of a downsized and unprofitable company, leadership must do the things to gain the confidence and trust of the people at all levels to bring about results.

Count on results when dealing with Jim Buchanan. There are options available when considering who you want to bring the type experience, credibility and leadership to your company. When considering these options, do you want the best, or someone who is looking to make their next attempt at success?
