Uber Yourself Before You Get Kodaked - The Outsider Who Turned Around H & R Block, CEO Jeff Jones
When you hear about a public company going through six CEOs, you may think “they are doomed!” Not so when you bring in an outsider who was the President of Uber, and focused in on rebooting the culture first—rather than deploying the typical rinse and repeat “transformation” consulting playbook.
H&R Block has been on a rocky rollercoaster ride over the decades—occasionally coming close to the brink of obscurity, irrelevance, and decline. More than a cultural shift, this $3.5B behemoth, with 60,000 tax pros in 10,000 locations who have prepared close to 100 million returns, required industrial strength turnaround leadership.
Their CEO Jeff Jones, a grounded, humble and agile leader, brought that strength to the company. He joined us for this episode of The Reboot Chronicles to unpack dozens of Reboot Lessons, with remarkable stories about how he shifted H&R Block from a command and control to a connected culture, why 5 million people switched over to their rebooted platform—and why he resigned as Uber’s President during its darkest days.
