“Yacht racing,” Bob says, “is the perfect metaphor for business success. Businesses, like race boats, require leadership, teamwork, and rapid ideation and decision-making to be successful. Miles from land, you have only those resources you brought with you, and your knowledge of the environment and your competition to eke out as much advantage as you can in a dynamic environment.” Bob helps current and emerging leaders develop business skills that are effective whether the seas are calm or storms are raging.
His passion to help leaders succeed, combined with years of practical experience, make Bob an excellent guide.
