Why Chose Roger?
Over the last decade, Roger has dedicated his life to improving the organization and administration of the sport of bowling. Prior to that, he rose to the top position in the $10 billion industry.
Why is Roger right for your next meeting? Once he attained the industry’s top position, he reviewed all methods of operation and administration, then made necessary major changes. The most interesting was elimination of his own position. With that type of insight, he understands sacrifice and commitment needed for an organization to become successful, even if it is a painful, but correct, decision. People like that are few and far between.
Even with an often-heard expression, “have some skin in the game,” seldom do people step up to the level Roger did over his last 10 years in leadership positions. When the realignment was completed, Roger told the board that hired him that his position should only be short-term and a new CEO should be hired to take the organization to a new level. Planned obsolescence was his mantra because it was in the best interests of the organization and industry.
Roger’s is a real-life story of commitment to the vision of an organization in this day of executive greed and golden parachutes. His honesty, integrity—someone who walks the walk—is an inspiring story that will motivate your employees to action.
Despite the importance and seriousness of his involvement in the sport, he is an entertaining and have-a-good-time speaker while teaching bowling tips through the process.
