When it comes to leadership, Bob Mason is the total package.

His value is found in his years of experience at all levels of leadership in the organization, and that transcends all the book knowledge and theories in the world – hands down!  Too many people can identify the problem, but they can’t figure out the solution.  Bob is that rare individual who can identify the problem, figure out the solution and actively lead the implementation.

He took over a troubled staff with nationwide responsibility, sized up their needs in less than a month, laid out a road map, set goals, and led the charge to get them functioning as a cohesive team.  He hammered out the details, planned the changes and began implementing policy.  That’s what effective leaders do:  they identify the problems, determine what needs to be done, and then they lead from the front.  Active leadership is critical in any leadership job whether at the top or bottom of the organization.

This is not a diamond in the rough – this one is cut and polished with all the characteristics of the brilliant lustrous stone.  He’s the total package.  He knows how to lead and people respond to his rock solid leadership.  He gets the most out of people.
