Gregory Jones & Associates

Achieving excellence depends on excellent people.  Finding executive-level talent is becoming more and more challenging, so looking beyond the resume is essential in identifying individuals that have the values and characteristics that make leaders successful.  At Gregory Jones & Associates we have particular expertise in talent identification through years of experience in selecting the right individual to take on new responsibilities.  

We have experience in working with elected officials and senior staff in various capacities and in different types of agencies to "zero in" on what sort of talents are necessary for success in your unique organization. 

Talent also needs direction.  Many public sector leaders are recent promotees or working at a new level as they fill positions of more and more responsiblity.  The work only just begins with that promotion or relocation to a new agency.  Gregory Jones & Associates can give assistance by providing Executive Coaching services tailored to the public sector executive.  With appropriate performance planning and review, your leaders' likelihood of achieving excellence is increased dramatically.   

We have experience in designing individual performance plans that align individual executive performance to Council priorities.   

We are as committed to your people's success as you are.

Gregory Jones & Associates can help you with your most challenging labor contract negotiations.  They understand the long term implications of agreements past and present and can present the information to both union and electeds in an understandable way.

Maximizing the use of resources is a key objective for any public agency.  With expertise in the development of executive teams, outcome-based budgeting, performance planning, fiscal management, agency marketing, community outreach and neighborhood building, we will provide you with models for success in these and other areas to achieve the excellence you expect from your organization.
