Bob Chapman is a visionary who grew a small company through thick and thin to become a $3.6 billion powerhouse. But he knows that wouldn’t have been possible without the people surrounding him, and those people need to be cared for. He says, “Seventy-four percent of all illnesses are chronic. The biggest cause of chronic illnesses is stress. And the biggest cause of stress is work. We are destroying people.” That’s why Bob shares all his human-focused leadership insight in this episode of the Take Command podcast. “We can all say, ‘The government needs to do this, the new president needs to do that.’ But what are we doing to create the kind of world where our children, our friends, our family have a chance to be who they're intended to be?” Bob encourages all leaders to start measuring success by the way they touch the lives of people, from employees to customers to suppliers and more. Listen in as Bob and Joe discuss the history of Barry-Wehmiller, the importance of a foundational business plan, and why putting people first is the secret to success.
