Part one of this two part series features Bob Chapman, the Chairman and former CEO of St. Louis, MO-based Barry-Wehmiller, a $3B global manufacturing business with almost 12,000 team members. Chapman’s experiences were the inspiration behind his 2015 WSJ bestseller Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family, co-authored with Raj Sisodia. Bob’s approach to business was featured in a case study by Harvard Business School. In 2013, Bob and his wife Cynthia launched a nonprofit, Chapman Foundation for Caring Communities, to bring Barry-Wehmiller’s groundbreaking “Listen Like a Leader” training to communities. In 2015, the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute was founded to bring the principles of Truly Human Leadership® to for-profit organizations through culture transformation and leadership training. Bob and his team have been collaborating with the Gonzaga School of Business for three years.
