A  Practical Guide for Executives, Managers, and Professionals  

My life has spanned the world of sports, academia, & big business and has taught me many lessons. One of the most critical lessons is the importance of winning, whether you’re the CEO of a company, a Big Ten college athlete, or PhD candidate, as I was.

The one question I am asked when I speak before top executives, engage direct reports, or teach students in my summer MBA programs is: What does it take to win?

In this website, I would like to provide you with a game plan for winning, one that I have discovered through a lifetime of experience in working in different organizations around the world. If you happen to be a CEO or C Suite member and you come across something here that helps you or your organization to win, that’s great.

Yet this website is intended toward a much broader audience that includes country managers, middle managers, people running plants, people on the front lines of capitalism. You will also find tips if you are an MBA looking to take the next step in your career, or a college graduate looking for your first job. You will even find tips about winning here for aspiring professors or university department heads.

This website will focus on what professionals at all levels can do to win at the great game of business. Thanks for stopping by! Bob
