Billy Florence & Fred Harteis - Leadership Style
“Success of business or a country rises or falls on leadership and character. My friend Fred Harteis, models great business leadership-style as head of Harteis International and founder of Biznet Productions but also as husband and father. Fred doesn’t just talk the talk -- he walks the walk.” – Billy Florence
Billy Florence: Fred, who in history has influenced your leadership style?
Fred Harteis: Abraham Lincoln is one.
Billy Florence: Why Lincoln, Fred?
Fred Harteis: Lincoln had to unite a divided people and lead for the good of the nation.
Billy Florence: What else do you see as a secret of Lincoln's leadership style?
Fred Harteis: His faith, love of reading and caring for people.
Billy Florence: Reading?
Fred Harteis: Lincoln placed a high value on reading good books and continuing his education. The majority of his education was in a home school environment.
Billy Florence: Have you benefited personally, Fred from studying the life of Lincoln?
Harteis: Yes! I'd suggest to anyone interested in leadership to read the book "Lincoln on Leadership."
Billy Florence: If there some characteristic of Lincoln that comes to mind, Fred?
Fred Harteis: Lincoln was a humble man who was willing to over look the weaknesses of those around him, to focus on what they could accomplish to help the nation.
Billy Florence: Any final tip, Fred?
Harteis: We all have great potential; most just lack the direction and inspiration. I encourage people to find an atmosphere that provides and promotes personal and professional development.
Fred Harteis: President of Harties International, Inc. & BizNet Productions.
