Discovering the leader’s code: The secrets for driving winning performance in organizations
With over 35,000 business books published annually, why do we still struggle with leadership issues that have plagued us for thousands of years? Don Schmincke, winner of the 2023 Vistage Speaker Lifetime Achievement Award, uncovers our species’ scientific and biological findings that explain our management theories’ high failure rates and what we can do about them to drive stronger strategic performance.
About the presenter
Don has trained over 30,000 CEOs in over 100 industries. After hundreds of autopsies and resurrecting companies damaged by some of the biggest names in management consulting, his scientific research pulls back the curtain to teach others what it takes to climb higher.
Called the world’s “management renegade”, his irreverent humor and unconventional methods provide audiences with a refreshing change to other status-quo topics. His patent-pending offerings transcend typical programs with refreshing alternatives to trendy theories, unproven methods, and phony “experts.” He has been featured by CNN, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, MSNBC.com and in more than 60 industry publications.
Nowadays, Don flies 250,000 miles annually, speaking at conferences, training CEOs in his workshops and working with clients from the Department of Defense to companies across industries including healthcare, manufacturing, non-profits, distribution, technology, communications, finance, and insurance.
