Run to It, Not From It | Jeff Stocks on Hard Conversations, Culture & Leadership

James Forrest sits down with Jeff Stocks, chairman of the Starboard Holding Companies and Nautical Advisory Services, whose career includes nearly 30 years leading one of the largest Manpower franchises in the country. A recurring theme is Jeff's view that conflict resolution is one of the weakest skills among CEOs, along with the motto his companies use to address it: run to the issue, not from it. He shares an early-career lesson about waiting too long to address a leader who did not fit the culture. He also explains why he considers culture an organization's biggest competitive advantage and why every leadership team in his portfolio holds equity. Jeff covers what first-time sellers should expect emotionally in an M&A process, how he balances facts and intuition when hiring, and how AI helped his firm win a major CEO search proposal. The conversation closes with the values Jeff traces back to growing up on a tobacco farm in eastern North Carolina, including humility, faith, and nearly 50 years of marriage.
