Leading with your values creates the ultimate impact.

In a self-focused world, Jennifer Schielke, co-founder and CEO of Summit Solutions Group, shows CEOs how to regain the heart and soul of leadership, using values as their North Star. Never has it been more critical for leaders to focus on relationships—truly seeing their teams and bringing their full selves to the job.

Dignity, Integrity, Diligence, Achievement, and Impact are the driving forces at Summit Group—deeply-held values that have kept the company strong and humane throughout the most challenging obstacles of our time. What Schielke has discovered in her leadership is the answer to thriving in a rapidly changing world.

CEOs struggle with making decisions in their demanding roles, but the answer lies within. Defining and living your values can transform your life and the life of your company. Leading for Impact begins with the leader you are at this moment. You've been called here for a reason, whether that be by talent, circumstance, or a higher power.

Schielke walks you through how to harness your calling. With her fresh perspective on sacrificial leadership, you'll discover the piece that's been missing all along—serving others. Many misperceive humble servitude, but it's the magic that our future leaders must embrace to create a better tomorrow in our businesses and lives.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
~2 Timothy 4: 7

As a leader, you will constantly fight the good fight, seek to finish the race, and learn to keep the faith. We can all be humble warriors on this journey, and the results of this intentionality will uplift your heart and the hearts of all those over whom you're privileged to be a good steward, no matter the opportunities and challenges life promises to deliver.
