230: Don Schmincke, The compelling saga: How to lead an organization toward success

Welcome to Strategy Skills episode 230, an episode with best-selling author and dynamic keynote speaker, Don Schmincke. 

In this episode, Don spoke about the counterintuitive insights of successful companies, why some organizations have a lack of performance, and the challenges that CEOs today need to address. He also shared his journey and discovery of Biological Leadership and how it relates to the leadership that organizations apply today.

Don has been accused by a NY press agency of providing “the most provocative and sensational view of business than any other speaker today.”

What else would you expect from an MIT and Johns Hopkins researcher who was nearly arrested as a capitalist spy in the Soviet Bloc, got shot off an aircraft carrier, survived in the Kurdish capital as the Ayatollah held hostages in Tehran, and developed missile inertial guidance systems while his frat brothers took Vegas (later portrayed in the movie “21”)?

Don Schmincke’s irreverent humor and unconventional methods provide audiences with such a refreshing change compared to other status-quo topics that he’s been called the world’s “management renegade.” His patent-pending offerings transcend typical programs via refreshing alternatives to trendy theories, unproven methods, and phony “experts.” The industry agrees.

Don’s renowned books are The Code of the Executive and High Altitude Leadership (with NBC Emmy-nominated climber Chris Warner), which has been published in over 10 languages, endorsed by leading authorities, and recommended by top business schools and featured by CNN, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, MSNBC.com, and more than 60 industry publications annually.

Don has been the host of the Executive Insights TV series and The Leader’s Code radio program, and he has been acclaimed as a Top 10 speaker for the world’s largest CEO organization.

The high failure rates of pop-management theories drove Don’s research using anthropology, evolutionary genetics, and biology to dispel the “program-of-the-month” syndrome that has frustrated CEOs and HR managers for so long. By using Don’s science-driven leadership methods, companies experience accelerated results in sales, employee satisfaction, and cultural alignment. He admits, “Our work is politically incorrect but scientifically accurate.”
