John Shield's Left an Incredible Leadership Legacy


JOHN SHIELDS 1932 - 1914

A Leader of Leaders


John's legacy reminds us all of the impact leaders have on those who follow them. 
"His life, his impact , mark him as one of the truly great business leaders and a wonderful mentor and friend." 

The legacy we leave is the legacy we live. The best way to honor and remember John is to lead the way he led. Let our lives, our leadership be his legacy. 

Tell the truth. Do the right thing. John told the truth. He led with integrity.

Empower. And empower within boundaries. John said: liked the keeper: "Empowering untrained people is like unleashing unguided missiles".

Invest in your people. When John initiated Smart U/TJU he said: "I never asked what it cost, I was afraid that if I knew, I wouldn't do it...we had to do it. Our people deserved to have tools to help them succeed."

Listen, Learn, and Improve. John knew the best ideas don't always come from the top. He listened. He learned. He led.

" When you walk away from a conversation and you feel better about yourself, turn around, take another look, you were probably in the presence of a leader."

John made people feel better about ourselves and unleashed talent and leadership.
