Spend LESS TIME getting your team to do their job and MORE TIME celebrating successes.
If you are like most leaders who find me, chances are you are frustrated by the performance of one or more people on your team.
You may be at a point where you are ready (or you are preparing to) fire them.
If that's you, we should talk.

“People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care”
~ Theodore Roosevelt
Spend 20 minutes a day so you can lead your low performers to high performance without adding more to your to-do list.
"Chris, I'm gonna fire 'em!"
I've heard this exact phrase from many of my leader clients over the years.
Before firing their low performers, it's believed that you should put the team member on a "performance plan".
A performance plan is often used as a tool to help you to fire low performers. Using your time, energy, and "excess capacity" to put your low performer on a performance plan is not a good use of your leadership.
In the end, you end up wasting your time, energy, and "excess capacity" managing performance only to fire them (or watch them quit). Who has time for that?
There's a better way.
Instead:
- Allow each team member to own their success as you support them.
- Follow a simple performance agenda and start celebrating successes.
- Watch your team accomplish more, build trust, and increase team engagement. And, stop wasting time.

Why Leaders Rave About The Authentic Leader™ Framework
Ian Hemstock
CEO, BGB Technology Inc.
"As a direct result of working closely with Chris, I was able to discover my own vision of both an ideal leader, and more importantly the type of leader I aspired to be. From that vision, I now have a clear understanding of what makes me unique as a leader of our US operation. The Authentic Leader plan Chris helped me to create is an excellent tool that is helping me stay focused on continuously developing my leadership skills and becoming a next level leader."
Mark Morton
President, Morton
“Morton Consulting has worked with Authentic Leader many times for group facilitation, training, strategic planning, consulting, and coaching. For the past several years, Chris has been a sounding board to help us to create a clear direction, think through difficult decisions, hold each other accountable, and prioritize the most impactful opportunities.”
From: Christopher R Jones
To: The Authentic Leaders of Tomorrow
I was promoted to my first titled leader role in 1997.
I was promoted because I was a high performer in my previous role. Little did I know how different leadership was on the other side of leadership . . .
I struggled as a leader because my team was underperforming.
Adding to my struggle, I allowed myself to be intimidated by my boss and was leading how I thought my boss wanted me to lead (ouch!).
From that experience, I committed to never be intimidated by my boss or accept low performance from my team again. I also committed to learning all that I could about how to lead teams effectively.
And I found that leading authentically was an easier way to lead and helped me work with my team to increase their performance to their full capability.
After more than 25+ years in technology departments at the world headquarters of Fortune 500 companies, I left to teach other leaders in tech how to lead more authentically, keep their key talent, and lead entire technology teams of high performers.
I have worked with scores of leaders of technical teams to determine their leadership goals, develop a plan to achieve those goals, hold them accountable to their commitments, and celebrate their success along the way.
“When the best leader’s work is done,
the people say ‘We did it ourselves!’”

P. Sean Francis
CEO, Technology Assurance Group
“Christopher Jones of Authentic Leader has been working with me recently and at times with my entire staff for the past several years. Chris focuses on positive actions and presents them in a manner that feels like we have come up with the solutions and directions ourselves. This entails better engagement and a more impactful outcome. He has really helped our team to focus on leading the way we need to succeed. I highly recommend Chris to any organization or individual that truly wants to be an Authentic Leader!”
Technology QA Manager
Fortune 500 Headquarters
“I get a lot out of my meetings with Chris. While we have an agenda and he provides excellent instruction on leadership tools and systems, we also discuss my specific situations and follow those lines where the conversation needs to go, and that’s what I find really helpful. We’ve been focusing on my relationship with the offshore engineering team members and it’s all going very well.”
Tech Consulting, Overall Operations Manager
Fortune 500 Headquarters
“I am happy with the work Chris and I have done together. We are focusing on making the team more effective and that is a bit more challenging since everyone has a full agenda. But I feel like Chris has put me on a course that I will pursue and get results even if it happens after the program has ended.”
