Clinton Wingrove

Clinton is an author, publisher and international speaker. His personal passion is "Optimizing individual and team productivity, performance, and development."

Following a scientific degree, Clinton's career started in Clerical Work Measurement and Design where he led the design and implementation of the processes and computer systems to automate an international warehousing and distribution operation. He soon learned that technology alone is not a solution – it is merely an enabler – and, without excellent leadership and management, productivity and capability plateau or decline.

Clinton went on to study Behaviour Engineering – how the complex relationships between process and systems design, user training, systems implementation, data management, and operational management combine to impact productivity and development.

Clinton then moved into HR process and technology consulting, designing and deploying integrated process, technology, and management solutions to maximize individual performance and enable individuals to reach their true potential.

Clinton has spent over 20 years in executive and CEO roles, leading major development initiatives in large private and public-sector organizations. During that period, he was able to study millions of data points about people and their outputs. From these studies, he empirically derived models to explain the foundation skills of leaders and managers who excel.

Clinton also believes passionately in HR's ability to lead, not merely support, organizational strategy. He abhors trivialization, and by calling on HR professionals to be more challenging of failed theories and processes, and to fight for what they believe is best for their organizations, he has earned the reputation as "The HR Anarchist."

Clinton's international experience has encompassed Barbados, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and the USA.

Clinton is a co-author of "SuperTeams: Using the principles of RESPECT to unleash explosive business performance," Marciano & Wingrove, 2014, McGraw-Hill, and author of "Impact Virtually: How to make an impact without going anywhere," 2017, Clinton Wingrove.

He is a member of the Professional Speakers Association and Toastmasters International, and a frequent speaker at international conferences and leadership events. Through those, he has earned the description, "The HR Futurist, Pragmatist, and Passionator."
