Intuitive, practical and down-to-earth is the way Ira Wolfe has been described by clients and colleagues alike. As founder of Success Performance Solutions and president of Poised for the Future Company, Ira S. Wolfe is considered one of the brightest and most talented minds at assessing employees for job performance. His approach to employee selection and performance management has earned him the endorsement and respect of both business leaders as well as consultants.
Ira delivered a provocative forecast of the 10- and 20-year labor market in 1999. Soon Ira found himself speaking to audiences all over North America on The Perfect Labor Storm: Why Worker Shortages Won’t Go Away and in 2004 published a book by the same name. In his dynamic yet down-to-style speaking style, Ira “tracks” the compelling story of demographic, economic, social and technological forces and reveals how far reaching and long lasting their effects would be on this worker and skills shortage.
In 2003 Ira received trademark status for his job benchmarking, employee selection, and performance management system called CriteriaOne.
Ira is the also the author of Understanding Business Values and Motivators (2004). He is a columnist for the Business2Business magazine, Texas Business Columnist and has been featured in HR Magazine, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Central Penn Business Journal, PCN Cable, and many regional and national magazines. He is an active blogger, hosting his own blogs at Workforce Trends, Human Resource Trends, and Geeks, Geezers, and Googlization. In the June 2003 issue of Workforce Magazine, Ira was one of several expert consultants interviewed for 25 Trends That Will Change The Way You Do Business. Ira also hosted a radio talk show and is a frequent guest on talk radio.
As a result of his leadership, direction, and innovation Success Performance Solutions has attracted clients from its corporate home in Pennsylvania to China. These clients include manufacturers, hospitals and health care systems, retirement communities, distribution centers, call centers and technology firms as well as many entrepreneurs and consultants.
Ira is an active community leader, having served on many boards of directors including Maryland Capital Enterprise, Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Ocean Pines Chamber of Commerce, and Ephrata Community Hospital. He also served as chairperson of the Lancaster Prospers Entrepreneurial Task Force.
Wolfe recently completed his Master’s Degree in Leadership and Business Ethics at Duquesne University.
