Featuring:
Kevin Hancock, G6 CEO of Hancock Lumber, Maine and
Jim Smucker, President of Keim, Ohio
What to Expect:
Hear from two extraordinary leaders who transformed their company culture by making everyone’s voice in the company stronger.
Kevin Hancock – An Unexpected Journey to an Employee-Centric 7th Generation Family Enterprise:
CEO of one of the oldest family businesses in America (1848), Kevin Hancock, has a compelling story of how his rare voice disorder transformed his leadership and their company culture, making everyone else’s voice in the company stronger. His Shared Leadership approach is in his 3rd book The Seventh Power: One CEO’s Journey into the Business of Shared Leadership (which each attendee will receive):
“Increasingly, leaders are going to gain influence by making themselves smaller, not bigger. Decision-making responsibility is going to be shared, not collected.” – Kevin Hancock
Jim Smucker – Developing a “Robust We”:
Selected by Keim’s Board to serve as their first non-family President in 2019, Jim grew up in his family business, Bird-In-Hand Corp (restaurant & hotel business), Bird-In-Hand, PA, where he served as President. Keim is a G4 family-owned business who have been members of DVFBC since 2015.
Jim will share team leadership lessons learned from a failed ERP installation, including:
- The importance of facilitating good process and dialog
- Seeing together as a team
- Healthy individuals are required for a strong team
- People support what they help create
