JeVon McCormick went from an orphanage and juvenile start and a GED to CEO of Scribe Media. On this episode, host Abel Pacheco and JeVon talk about leadership built on serving people, not managing them.
In this episode:
- The reframe: "No one works for me, people work with me. I'm no one's boss."
- The org chart rewritten: "We don't have direct reports. If you're in leadership, your role is 100% to support people, so you are direct support."
- His 5 pillars for where time goes: "God, health, family, business, and investing. If it doesn't fall within those five, I don't do it."
- Abel's Rackspace lesson from a former Marine CEO: "leaders eat last, everybody in your organization gets taken care of first."
- What that produced: serving a team turned a 5 person, $5 million group into "a $57 million, 60 person business."
Abel Pacheco is a San Antonio real estate operator who went from 8 single family houses to a share of roughly 1,500 apartment doors, and now works as a fractional Chief AI Officer helping small and mid sized businesses put the back office on autopilot.
