Steve McClatchy
PRESIDENT
 Alleer Training & Consulting 

Steve is a keynote speaker and author of the award-winning New York Times Bestseller - Decide: Work Smarter, Reduce Your Stress & Lead by Example.  He has spoken at Harvard, Wharton, and His new book, Leading Relationships, will release in February of 2025 (Wiley). Steve’s passion is for continuous improvement and believes that when we stop growing, learning,  gaining experience, and achieving goals we stop living. 

Only once in a decade is there a book that answers a huge problem in the marketplace and shapes a movement. That problem today is the engagement and retention of your top talent and Leading Relationships is the solution.

Every business needs leaders that understand, not only how to lead the business, but how to lead the people in it.

In this age of AI threatening the future of work Leading  Relationships teaches leaders skills that AI will never be able to do for them.

 In this presentation leaders will learn how to: 

  • Build relationships strong enough to handle the pressures and tensions inherent in building and leading a dynamic, engaged, fast changing, high-performance, collaborative team.

 

  • Change the way leaders work, interact, solve problems, innovate, manage, and lead their business.

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I will learn.
