Speakers
Stewart Liff
Stewart Liff was born in Queens, New York in 1951 and moved to California in 1994. A classically trained artist, he worked for the Federal government for 32 years and led several impressive transformation efforts. One of them resulted in Vice President Al Gore's first Hammer Award for reinventing government and the other led to his office receiving OPM's prestigious PILLAR (Performance Incentives Leadership Linked to Achieving Results) Award.
He has written six books, four on government, one on visual management and his most recent one, A Team of Leaders, co-authored with Paul Gustavson, was just named one of the 30 best business books of 2014 by Soundview Executive Book Summaries.
Stew’s latest book, A Team of Leaders: Empowering Every Member to Take Ownership, Demonstrate Initiative, and Deliver Results, co-authored with Paul Gustavson, describes how to build high performing, self-managed teams.
Past clients are amazed at how Stew can quickly access what needs to change, how to do it, and how to resolve personnel problems, such as holding employees accountable or dealing with difficult people. Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs (VA), Justice, Agriculture, Labor and Treasury, as well such diverse organizations as the World Bank, OPM, the State Government of Georgia, the Ohio Department of Alcohol, Drugs and Mental Health and the Brigham Young University Football Team have all benefited from Stew’s expertise.
Stew lives with his wife Lisa in Santa Clarita, California. In his spare time you can find Stew traveling, playing tennis, sketching, and spending quality time with his family.
