Steve Schenck
CORE COMPETENCIES
Reestablishing Communication and Morale
For over 41 years Steve Schenck has worked intimately with for-profit and consumer cooperative businesses. His work with boards of directors of non-profits, consumer cooperatives and community development corporations has given him amazing insight into the inner workings of business though processes.
One of Steve’s strengths is his ability to recognize where, within a business, the organizational structure is breaking down (e.g. communication, loss of market share, loss of staff, drop in profitability or cash flow) and then help identify solutions to strengthen those areas once again.
Change Comes From Within the Organization
Steve is skilled at stepping inside organizations and seeing where the barriers are to effective communication and teamwork. He helps build trust between the individuals and groups within organizations and facilitates identifying solutions, getting commitments to act and follow through, and establish accountability for performance and recognition of contribution of those involved.
Steve provides a path to establishing an in-depth change of habits and more effective ways for staff to interact within the organization. Without established new habits of action, the people within the organization will slip back into their previous ineffective habits and behaviors when stressful situations occur. Steve helps to firmly establish new habits and support between people.
Systems for an Effective Workplace
Effective organizations leverage three important things: skills, intelligence and staff commitment. When all three of these things are embraced, wonderful things are accomplished. Effectiveness is substantially increased by systems that use these three attributes to accomplish the organization’s goals. Steve helps businesses reinvigorate and become effective once again, by identifying and setting up new and needed systems when a business or organization is in a state of disorganization and breakdown.
Education
Steve earned a BA in Business Economics at UCSB. He studied Supermarket Management at UCLA. He takes seminars and courses on a regular basis on communications, finance, management and trends.
