About Steven Cummings

Making a difference in people and organizations is what I do best. I’ve been a CEO three times and I can attest that it is indeed lonely at the top. There is no unbiased sounding board when it comes to making tough decisions. I take a stewardship approach to leadership. My responsibility is to support the staff and build strong teams which equals growth for people and the company.I am looking for leaders who are curious about the issues and the people behind them. My Vistage group is for people who are fun, open and interactive and who want to collaborate to make a positive impact. I’m interested in talking with high-integrity leaders who are in growth mode and have a passion for excellence along with a service mindset. If that describes you, let’s connect. s••••••••@vistagechair.com.In the community, I am a business mentor at SCORE, helping local entrepreneurs with their small businesses. I love sharing what I’ve learned. I’m a board member of Goodwill Industries, a featured speaker and write a blog, too.At SPC Consulting, my team and I guide executives regarding strategy, process and culture. I’m passionate about working with people in the manufacturing industry which I believe is second to none. I have a solid understanding in the areas of finance, operations, engineering, sales, human resources, and legal. My strengths include being able to put things in perspective and building solid relationships.Results matter and people matter. That’s why I’m also a Vistage Chair, facilitating business advisory groups of local business owners and chief executives who are interested in combining their wisdom and talents to discuss C-level issues and achieve rapid growth. The power of Vistage is in the layered experience and built-in accountability. Monthly meetings plus one-to-one coaching and expert-led workshops adds up to better leaders.
