There is an incredible power that comes from surrounding yourself with communities in which you feel small among them, and they look at you like a giant. —Sekou Andrews, Poetic Voice I use my work in the field of group dynamics to: 1) help CEOs and business leaders maximize their peer group experience; and, 2) assist companies with building higher performing teams in the workplace. In a world where we’re asking fewer people to do more, even faster, it’s hard to imagine a more important subject for today’s leaders and their organizations. Background Leo Bottary is a keynote speaker, author, workshop facilitator, adjunct professor, and thought leader on the topic of peer advantage. Peer influence is something you’ve experienced for your entire life, often without a great deal of thought or effort. Peer advantage is what can be realized when you engage your peers in a manner that’s more selective, strategic, and structured. If you want to grow as an individual, collaborate more effectively, become a better leader, and prepare your organization to meet the challenges of the future, then enlist a group of peers you respect and who are committed to the same goals and watch what happens!Leo During his tenure at Vistage Worldwide, Leo directed a thought leadership initiative on the power of peers in business, which resulted in a book he coauthored with Leon Shapiro, The Power of Peers: How the Company You Keep Drives Leadership, Growth & Success. His new book, What Anyone Can Do: How Surrounding Yourself with the Right People Will Drive Change, Opportunity, and Personal Growth (Routledge, 2018), makes the case for surrounding yourself with the right people to realize more out of business and life. Leo serves as an instructor for Rutgers University and and Opnion Columnist for CEOWORLD Magazine. Learn more at leobottary.com.
