Andy Hooper is a Co-Founder and CEO at R3 | Venture Studio. He possess expertise in talent management, succession planning, human resources, recruiting, training and 29 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Andy will excel in his many endeavors because he helps those around him to excel. I often refer to a keen insight Andy shared with me while we were participating in a professional development course together. "Our actions telegraph our desires, often unintentionally." He suggested that most employees stop working six months prior to being asked to leave. Often the employee does not even recognize they have chosen this course of action. If, as a manager, we can recognize the issue and accelerate that time line, we are helping the employee move on to a preferable position and helping our organization by getting the right person in that position; abdicated, but still occupied. At the time, I was contemplating a career transition from the firm I had been with for fourteen-years to taking the lead role at my current firm. His suggestion helped me recognize that I too had been procrastinating. I was most impressed with his commitment to helping his employees achieve their greatest potential, even if it means helping those parties to make difficult choices. I often share his observations with my own clientèle when I suspect procrastination. I look forward to opportunities to work with Andy in the future. His keen insight and quick wit make him a pleasure to be around."
