Jeffrey Hanhausen

Jeffrey Hanhausen has spent over 25 years in executive roles leading and managing teams. His skill in teaching has led to improved performance for colleagues, employers, employees and companies. His enthusiasm for teaching and leading people extends to his current offer for accumulating knowledge and power. During his career, he has shown acumen for constituting and developing high performance teams, designing and executing competitive operational practices, and reducing costs in situation of market change. Some of the specific roles he held are Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, President and CEO. The companies ranged in revenue from $7 million to $65 million. He has consistently accomplished strong operating results, in a variety of situations, contributing to a strong Balance sheet and increased Enterprise Value..

Jeffrey attributes his success to building a community of empowered people through innovative offers, commitments and practices. He has authored processes for Commitment Based Management by teaching the essential skills required for coordination and communication. He has taught workshops on accumulating knowledge required for business owners on Balance Sheets, Income Statements and Cash Flows – knowledge required for an owner to build enterprise value. In a national conference of business owners and executives, he led a workshop on the design of an enterprise, using distinctions developed by Dr. Fernando Flores. He has worked with teams on project management, strategy, trust, moods and value based assessments. All of these endeavors have accomplished increased enterprise value.

Jeffrey has dedicated himself to a life of continuous education. His claim is that the very moment you stop educating yourself is the same moment that your career has ended. He has spent the past 15 years in the study of business leadership and strategies for the design of new practices in a fast, radically changing marketplace. Part of this study centered on building fundamental strategies for constituting personal ambition, formulating philosophies of care and power, accumulating knowledge, formulating and using ethics of power, producing highly valued offers and making money, building networks of help and membership, generating and increasing autonomies, producing highly valued accomplishments, establishing identities of trust and value, holding leadership roles, building powerful business organizations and reading the world to notice and assess marketplace drift.

Jeffrey participates actively on several boards as an advisor, and continues to look for opportunities to both learn and teach. He credits his knowledge to early work with Toby Hecht and Stan Leopard – understanding the mechanisms of business to make meaningful differences to business owners and executives.

Jeffrey lives in Philadelphia with his wife of 26 years, Lisa. They have three children who all actively work and learn in the Philadelphia area.
