Hal Johnson

Hal Johnson has been CEO of eight different companies in the US and the UK. His primary focus has been building management teams to produce outstanding performance.

Earlier in his career, Hal became involved in transitioning businesses (i.e., turn-around, acquisition, and merger) where he began to test some of his theories on mentoring. His system for developing managers, based on acquiring core business knowledge and building leadership and relationship skills, resulted in his first book, Mentoring for Exceptional Performance

Mentoring Greatness: How to Build a Great Company, Hal’s second book, is based on helping CEOs through mentoring best business practices. As he became a business transition specialist, Hal developed a unique and effective executive development process that enables companies to help their management-leaders enhance their talents with focused business knowledge and skills.

Hal and Kurt Glassman have just authored a new book, Tripping Points: The Seven Critical Issues of Business Transition Planning, which addresses the key issues of successful business transition planning. In addition to serving on several boards of directors, Hal is Chairman and CEO of LeadershipOne. He consults widely and speaks regularly on how to mentor a company to greatness. He holds a Masters Degree from the University of Southern California.
