Don Schmincke
Don has been accused by a NY press agency of providing "the most provocative 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 such a refreshing change 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:
- Renown books "The Code of the Executive" and "High Altitude Leadership" (with NBC Emmy-nominated climber Chris Warner)
- Published in over 10 languages, endorsed by leading authorities and recommended by top business schools.
- Featured by CNN, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, MSNBC.com and more than 60 industry publications annually.
- Host: Executive Insights TV series and The Leader's Code radio program.
- 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 frustrating 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." Audiences love it!
"Most remarkable and entertaining insights I ever heard on stage!"
Today, Don flies 200,000 miles annually speaking at conferences, training CEOs in his workshops and working with clients from the Department of Defense (where he helped the U.S. Navy evolve its Fleet Readiness strategy) to companies across every industry including healthcare, manufacturing, non-profits, distribution, technology, communications, finance, and insurance.
. . . and occasionally he can be found at universities inflicting his unconventional techniques on innocent graduate students.
