How to Identify Emerging Leaders

Description: Jim is the retired president of North Central Bus & Equipment (Blue Bird dealer in MN & SD) and Sunburst Transit (student transportation contractor). He is a champion of organizational culture, having created an atmosphere where individuals feel safe, respected, valued and know, “they are making a difference”. His new book, “Stepping Up: from valued employee to supervisor” is making a difference in the lives of aspiring leaders who are listening to their inner voice saying, “I’m not good enough” and are afraid to step up into a supervisory role.
