Meet Bob: One of our ROCC Stars…

When you read our new book, Trust is Everything: How to become the leader others will follow, you will see why we respect and admire Bob Lintz. We have known Bob since the early ’90s when Aneil was working on his dissertation. He found out that Bob was an MSU alum and immediately teased him (Aneil being a Michigan alum) and we’ve all been good friends ever since.

We had the opportunity to write a case study about Bob and the way he turned around the General Motors Parma, Ohio plant which really allowed us to see the way Bob leads. His “open door” policy was revolutionary at a time when union members didn’t trust “management”. Bob has always had the ability to listen to other people’s concerns in a way that makes you know he truly appreciates your contributions to the organization. Aneil and I always told Bob that if we had met him while we were working at General Motors, we would have stayed longer.

We are excited for you to “meet” Bob and learn more about his trustworthy leadership style. Bob teaches us that we can all be trusted leaders if we care enough about other people and trust them to do what is right.
