High Performance Leadership

“Scott’s ability to relate and to speak specifically to how our business operates and how to adapt his style to our people in the Academy has been nothing short of amazing. He and his team did their homework to truly understand how we operate daily. The Academy gave me and my team great insights into how we can make changes that impact our performance and our lives. Our operations metric improvements are nothing short of amazing – FPY went from 94% to 99.8%, employee morale went from abysmal and worried about union incursions to over 54% engaged to now 73% engaged, turnover has dramatically reduced, and we went from losing $1M monthly for 9 months to now a $1.4M surplus. I can’t say enough about how on target this message has been for all of us.”

“Scott is a standout professional in a vastly, crowded space. He approaches opportunities directly and with thought. I have always felt he cared about my success and my future and never a contact on a prospect sheet.  I believe companies and professionals that Scott represents benefit by his high degree of detail, professionalism and get the best out of their associations. I highly recommend Scott to anyone!” – Jody D., SVP, Marketing – FMCG

“I have the sincere and honest desire; the courage, the willingness and ability to commit to change and eliminate unproductive behaviors. This is no easy journey. It is not for the faint at heart. and it doesn’t happen overnight.” – C. Kemmerer, President – The Buchner Group

“I’m currently entering the last week of a 7 week Elegant Leader program with Scott and I must say that I’ve taken many leadership courses over the years and this is the first one that I’m truly sad is ending. Scott is, well, elegant. He’s also humble, down to earth and speaks in a language that means something to me, both professionally and personally.

Through his leadership I’ve learned so much about myself and things I was doing that were holding me back. After attending this course, I feel much calmer and secure about my role, my successes and my shortcomings. Thank you Scott for sharing your gift and for anyone on a journey of self-fulfillment and/or improvement, I don’t think you can go wrong here.”  – Anita K, Lead System Analyst

Amazing insight and thank you very much. I have preached for years about ” earning the right to be heard” which can only be done over time, consistently, with no strings attached, purposefully and with the intention to give and not get which I believe builds trust. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me.

The importance of self-introspection on how to improve my behaviors to help others was the biggest impact so far. Since completing all of the modules, my group has realized a 12% increase in throughput and a scrap reduction by 28%. I’ve been able to apply real solutions that are giving me sustainable results. The Academy should be required for everyone in leadership!

Thank you for your valuable insights during our keynote. Results and relationships are two vital areas we all should be working towards successfully. I especially enjoyed and learned more about how to truly connect with people – your remarks were very helpful.

Great information for me to use that strengthens what I’ve been applying in my career – good ammunition for me to use every day. Please come back and speak to our company again.

“You  have a strong conviction and heart for God. You love people; you honor your family. You are highly gifted and intelligent, compassionate, and goofy, You are honest, courageous, self-sacrificing, over-the-top patient and do not hesitate to admit when you are wrong.  You seek to grow in Him and encourage others to grow as well.” –  Non-profit President

Scott is a remarkable coach, advisor and person. He embodies everything that you would want in a coach/advisor for yourself, your leadership team, and your managers. He stands for nothing short of the highest levels of excellence and performance, which he has demonstrated in his own life and career.  Whether it is his track record as a leader in business or the ways he contributes to his community, Scott has the substance and the internal grounding to keep you motivated and inspired while also developing creative new ways to solve your most pressing challenges. The way he shows up in life equals the substance he has with many best-practice toolkits and methodologies.

His range is amazing, from helping leaders become even better to helping teams perform better and helping you shape the culture of your organization in ways that directly correlate to results. I work with many coaches and put Scott in the top of the top because of who he is and his ability to get remarkable, measurable results. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

“A great leader encompasses compassion and courage of your job and your employees. If I’m going to lead them, then I must learn to learn to lead by correcting what’s not working and employ what does work under stress. His comment, ‘we all revert to the level of behaviors we’ve mastered under stress,’ really resonated with me. I think I’m a good leader when things are going well. What I’ve learned is when multiple priorities, deadlines and issues above and below me mount, then I do revert back to less than elegant leadership. The Academy gives me the skills I need to be my best!”

“Let me start with the Leaders Dashboard – the low-tech approach is giving me high-tech and high-touch results! I’m able to visually reinforce what I must stop, start, maintain and elevate as a leader during times of pressure and stress. Having the courage to stay focused on the principles Scott delivers has proven invaluable already. The Academy gives me a logical sequence to build my leadership from where it is to where is must go. My 4 Group Leaders have all improved throughput 105% to the point we’ve expanded capacity 13%.  If you want to improve your environment and your leaders, then you’ve got to get the High-Performance Academy for your team and company.”

“Being able to gain knowledge and the sharing of ideas and approaches with my peers and other leaders in our organization in a safe environment was valuable to me. Since completing the Academy, we’ve reduced our FTE turnover from 90% to 38% and our engagement numbers went from 12% favorable to 54% favorable over the 12 months Scott’s been engaged with us. I highly recommend the Academy to anyone charged with shaping their organization.”

“Scott is a great teacher,  facilitator and communicator. His passion for leadership is contagious! All of us have gained valuable information and concrete action steps to apply to our environment and culture. I’ve personally learned I have several areas of improvement in my leadership style that I was unaware of. More importantly, I understand now how to make those corrections, commit to improve and recognize how I can lead my team to improve in their leadership as well.” 

“The Academy is on point! The ability to take a look at myself, how I lead and commit daily actions with employees that move them forward has been incredible.”

“Great information! I’m excited to take the knowledge back and encourage all levels to participate in the Academy. It reinforces my mission and how to improve my leadership.”

“The Academy gave me the ability to improve my leadership and to gain the courage to lead. Our environment is improving with effective communication, accountability and by leading with good behaviors. Thank you for providing such great insight into how I can lead the team and other managers to lead elegantly.”

I can’t wait to have you come back to Remington and deliver another outstanding session. I now have more courage and useful tools to be the best leader I can be. Thank you for your knowledge and I greatly appreciate your time and wisdom.

The Academy was very well organized, very motivating, filled with real-world knowledge and presented very well. I gained results all along the way! I had no idea the Academy was giving me so much personally and professionally. Thank you for your time and help and I look forward to using all of the tools I’ve learned to benefit others and my career.

“I came away with solid information and application to be a great leader, and I’ve committed to be a more compassionate leader as well for my employees. We look forward to more coaching from you.”

“My takeaway has been to take a step back, look at our environment and begin modeling the behaviors I expect from my team and LEAD them. Now that I’ve completed the Academy, my 3 manager’s productivity and their team’s have improved 22% and we’ve been able to move people around based upon demand and flow because we’re more effective and efficient. I’m working fewer hours and enjoying my work much more, too”

Scott Spector is an organized and highly detail oriented leader. While overseeing an eclectic group of individuals, Scott was able to effectively lead us while exceeding expectations and meeting the needs of all involved. He is a quality person and leader.

I came away more energized than ever before with a concrete plan of action, deadlines and accountabilities to ensure my success

I’ve known Scott for over 15 years now and to see him grow personally and professionally has been amazing to watch. His invaluable business insights are only surpassed by the care and compassion he has for people. He lives what he believes –generous, authentic and transparent leadership.
