Bob Mason
MBA
NM, USBob Mason is dedicated to leadership development. He works with companies that want to solve problems by making supervisors and managers more effective leaders leading more productive teams.
During a 30-year military career in the U.S. Air Force, Bob worked in aircraft and munitions maintenance and as a crew member in combat rescue. He was fortunate to work for and with great leaders from whom he learned real leadership. Very early in his career he was given the opportunity to lead ever larger and more complex teams, eventually commanding four different squadrons, including the Air Force's largest munitions squadron. He has studied leadership extensively, but more importantly has been there, working with real people, making hard decisions, and experiencing the results.
Upon retirement from the Air Force, Bob dedicated himself to helping others learn the skills he has found make leaders successful. He concentrates on developing leadership skills in supervisors and managers as they are the backbone of any company. They have the most day-to- day, face-to-face contact with the people who accomplish the work that produces the company's product or service. These mid-level leaders translate executive direction and goals into action.
His approach to leadership development is based on his firm belief, based on extensive
experience, that leadership doesn't have to be complicated. Leadership is simply getting things done through people and when supervisors and managers understand themselves, their purpose, and their team they become effective leaders.
Bob is a professional speaker and author and is a Past President of the New Mexico chapter of the National Speakers Association. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resource Management, a Master of Science in Aeronautics, and a Master of Business Administration in Aviation. He is the author of four books on leadership. Bob lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he and his wife enjoy hiking and exploring the history of the Southwest.

Excellent speech! The presentation was humorous and you did a great job presenting the different generations without taking sides. I was impressed with how you got the audience involved and I enjoyed your stories.
I really enjoyed your speech and I want your book!

I had the opportunity to have Bob Mason of RLM Planning and Leadership conduct two workshops for the Sandoval County Small Business Development Center recently. The two workshops that Bob taught were; "Strategic Planning" and "Leadership".
Mr. Mason did an excellent job presenting two difficult subjects and he did this in a manner that was both interesting and informative. He has a great visual presentation and encourages the audience to ask questions or otherwise engage in the learning experience. I sat in on both classes and I thought so much of the content and presentation that I recommended the classes to my fellow SBDC directors as possible offerings that they might consider for their respective centers.
I have personally attended professional management training at Stanford University, Thunderbird International School of Management, Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University, and INSEAD in Fontainebleu, France among others and I can say that the quality and level of information of Bob's presentation is on a par with instructors at these institutions. I would recommend Mr. Mason to anyone seeking to gain insight into the two workshops that he presented for the SC SBDC.

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.

Balancing the Generations:
Do you know: What three significant events between 1900 and 1945 have impacted every generation since? Who really led the counter-culture of the 1960's and 1970's? What broad influence has made a majority of the Millennial Generation significantly different? (Hint: It isn't computers)
The workplace has become a melting pot of 5 different generations. The differences in those generations often result in conflict and many leaders are not well equipped to handle that conflict. One of...

The Art of Not Motivating: Why Leaders Should Stop Motivating and Start Enabling
Have you ever tried to motivate someone and wondered why that didn't seem to work? Have you listened to a motivational CD or attended a program with a motivational speaker and been charged up and ready to take on the world, only to forget what that program told you by the next day?
Motivating is not something one person can do to another. That's because true motivation is an internal force within each of us. No one can truly motivate another person. Sure, a leader can cause people...
