Set Goals With Your Team In A Way That Drives Real Momentum And Improves The Culture Instead of Eroding It.

Leadership Keynote Speaker Philip Williams

"Philip knows how to command the room." K. O'Connell - Invite your audience to be entertained and learn next.

"Don't trust the process. Trust your team to know whether or not the process is working."

Looking to find a way to get employees to assume accountability and take full responsibility for the goals of the organization is how Philip's own successful leadership path started and grew. His open approach to leading teams helped him grow a reputation as a successful change agent and earned him a shot at his first CEO role. When he took the helm that company had no idea how they would make his first paycheck. Five short years later the company had three-peated in the Inc5000 and was being targeted for acquisition. Philip credits the success of his approach to the fact that he invites every employee into the company vision and enrolls each of them to actively take part in how the organization executes its strategy. Huge success happens not when a few pull the cart, but when everyone pulls the cart for the right reason in the right way.

Philip is the author of the recently released Momentum Goal Setting: The Anti-Corporate Approach to Setting Goals That Truly Grow Your Business. He wrote the book in response to a question he was asked quite a bit after the company was sold, which was "how did you know how to do that?" In the book Philip explains his approach which places culture before the numbers and as a result builds a culture that delivers the numbers because that "who they are".

Philip's business education started at the age eight at the family dinner table. His parents owned barber shops and and auto salvage business. He learned many lessons early ranging from customer service to developing employees to pricing strategies and negotiations. His parents encouraged him to get an education which started with his enlistment in the U.S. Navy where he was fortunate to be selected as an instructor at one of the Navy's Nuclear Training Prototypes. After his enlistment he completed his engineering degree as well an Master's in Business Administration. He's been successful in manufacturing, distribution, professional and industrial services.

Motivating and leading employees is evolving in a way that can make leaders uncomfortable. Philip's driving motivation is to help leaders understand how they can develop their teams at a time when employees are demanding more input and control over how they contribute to their company's execution.
