Fred Harteis – Modeling Today’s Leadership

 

 By Billy Florence

 

Fred Harteis is doing one of the toughest jobs in the nation.  And he’s doing it as a volunteer.  This spirit of volunteerism and Fred’s generosity of spirit should serve as an example to us all.

It requires great strength of character of put the interests of the group ahead of your own.  Fred has the character.   

 

As president (IBOAI), Independent Business Owners Association Int’l, Harteis and  IBOAI represent the business interests of Quixtar powered IBO’s .

 

Serving as President of an international trade organization (IBOAI) requires the vision of Abraham Lincoln, the determination of Thomas Edison, the humor of Will Rogers, and the spiritual staying power of Mother Theresa.   We are blessed that Fred has these.  He is also a famous in the area of “plants right.”

 

“Fred Harteis is a man who doesn't just talk about leadership.  He models it,” says Billy Florence 

 

Fred  doesn't just talk the talk when it comes to qualities like integrity, character and persistence.  Fred Harteis  walks the walk. 

 

Fred also owns several global companies like Harteis International and a powerful technology firm, Biznet Productions.  He takes time away from his own companies and his own family because of his commitment to making things better for others.

 

As president of IBOAI, Fred sets goals and energizes everyone around him in pursuit of those goals.  He is an encourager.  His coaching style is as motivational as Vince Lombardi and Fred Harteis’ winning results rival Lombardi.   Fred Harteis is quick to praise and slow to blame.  Fred Harteis is a man of principle, the proud husband of Linda Harties, and a true patriot. It’s an honor to serve with him on the IBOAI board.
