Jeff is a problem-solver, understanding that doing more with less is a 21st century mandate. Faced with a multi-million dollar landscaping beautification project, a demand for excellence, high productivity, and with a stagnant budget, Jeff knew that growing the people was critical to growing the plants. Taking his grounds employees, affectionately known as \\u201cweeders\\u201d, and developing them into \\u201cleaders\\u201d has been a joyous challenge that reaped acres of rewards in the form of national recognition as the Most Beautiful Campus by the Princeton Review, PGMS, Newsweek and every faculty, staff, student and visitor who has walked onto the Ole Miss Campus. Building on that momentum, Jeff has designed a professional development plan for his Weeders called Landscape University. His message rings true for any industry leader or manager looking to grow a high-performance and dedicated workforce.\\xa0 Cultivate greatness on your team.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nLearn more about Jeff McManus and how he cultivates greatness by visiting his website.\\xa0 You can order his book\\xa0Growing Weeders Into Leaders \\u2013 Leadership Lessons From the Ground Level through his website or by going to Amazon.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nClick here to check out our newest leadership development tool \\u2013 LEAD \\u2013 Leadership Education and Development\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nSteve Caldwell is an executive mentor and coach to managers and leaders who desire to excel in their career and become the leader others want to follow.
