Overview

Leading with your values creates the ultimate impact. In a self-focused world, Jennifer Schielke, co-founder and CEO of Summit Solutions Group, shows CEOs how to regain the heart and soul of leadership, using values as their North Star. Never has it been more critical for leaders to focus on relationships—connecting with their teams and bringing their full selves to their role. Dignity, Integrity, Diligence, Achievement, and Impact are the driving forces at Summit Group—deeply-held values that have kept the company strong and humane throughout the most challenging obstacles of our time. What Schielke has discovered in her leadership is the answer to thriving in a rapidly-changing, people-centric world, even among all the advances in technology. It is also the driving force that fuels Summit Group’s vision to give back to the communities where they live and work. CEOs make influential decisions in their demanding roles, but the real source of impact is found within. Defining and living out your values can transform your life and the life of your company (embracing its people). “Leading for Impact” begins with the leader you are at this moment, and encourages you toward excellence. Schielke walks you through how to appreciate and harness your calling. With her fresh perspective on sacrificial leadership, you’ll discover that serving others is a privilege and catalyst to new successes. Many misperceive the power in humble servitude, but it’s the key to creating a better tomorrow in our businesses and lives. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Tim 4:7) As a leader, you will constantly fight the good fight, seek to finish the race, and define who you are as a person, and a leader. We can all be humble warriors on this journey, and the results of this intentionality will be transformative to your leadership development, and to those you’re privileged to be a good steward over. “Trust yourself to find the foundation intended for you. Use it to serve your purpose well and to serve others generously.”
