    About this ebook

    Aristotle and Nike got it right – GREATNESS is what we humans DO – when given the challenge, the encouragement, the environment, and the opportunity. At some point in this postmodern life, individual greatness has lost its appeal for many of us. It has been commodified and relegated to those who are measured by shortest/longest times, impressive distances, highest heights, lowest lows, medals won, honors given…and again…Aristotle and Nike got it right…GREATNESS is what we can DO…every day…without recognition or reward, but for the satisfaction that comes from meeting the challenge, creating a team, and overcoming the odds. And that is what Growing Weeders into Leaders is about. It is an entertaining and thoughtful look into the hearts and the workday lives of ordinary people - just like you and me - who tapped into their inner greatness in pursuit of a vision. Creating one of America's most beautiful college campuses, at Ole Miss, did not happen overnight and, inside these pages, Jeff McManus describes the joys, the defeats, the brilliant problem-solving and the "best laid plans" that are proven worthless...until the bigger picture is told. It is the "bigger picture" told from the ground level. Growing Weeders into Leaders takes you through the practical applications of empowering people to experience not only what it means to grow outstanding landscapes, but also to grow greatness in themselves and encourage it in others.

    Jeff McManus

    Jeff has been praised by The New York Times, Forbes, and the Huffington Post for his work in landscaping as well as his writing, Growing Weeders into Leaders, that reveals the secret sauce in his recipe for success: his team. The PGMS, Newsweek, the Princeton Review, and USA Today all designated his team's work worthy of national distinction naming their campus as the nation's most beautiful. As noted by Dan Cathy, Chairman of Board for Chick-fil-A, "Jeff reminds us that all leaders can be cultivated with the right pruning and nurturing."A Landscape Professional at the University of Mississippi by day, a member of the National Speakers Association by night, Jeff has worked with hundreds of leaders and organizations to find the hidden leader within themselves and others. His easy-to-follow leadership programs motivate participants to lead by example, problem solve and to engage in continuous learning and growing. Jeff walks the walk each day and talks the talk each night. To book Jeff as a speaker, or to learn more about how you can grow your team or find the hidden leader within, go to www.jeffmcmanus.com.
