All Hand-on Deck a conversation with author Jeff Barnes

  • Summary

  • When Jeff Barnes, the author of All Hands-On Deck asked at a networking event how to explain what his business did to potential customers, the advice he received was to focus on what made him unique.

    Like many people it is Jeff’s experience that brings something special to what he does today.

    Success in the first stage of his career meant that Jeff had to rely on his wits and the instruction manual, there was no way to phone a friend, but that is life for a submariner.

    In his book All Hands-On Deck explains how the same structured, systemized approach to working and a culture of accountability, responsibility, and camaraderie can deliver exceptional improvements in business performance.

    During this episode of The Independent Minds Jeff and Michael explore the importance of team work in creating a successful business, how making the wrong hiring decisions can hold a business back and what angel investors look for when considering investing in a business.
