For Wally Bock, leadership means several things. Read his articles or listen to him speak and you'll hear quotes like the following.

"Leadership is the art of influencing a group achieve a goal."

"A leader has two goals: accomplish the mission and care for the people."

"There are really three kinds of leadership. There's Strategic Leadership where the leader is responsible for purpose, culture, direction and narrowing the field of concentration. There's Supervisory Leadership where the leader works to influence the performance of the group. And there's Critical Incident Leadership where the leader plans for and deals with the inevitable low frequency/high impact events."

Sometimes, though leadership means being first. When lots of folks hadn't even heard of the Net, Wally Bock was doing business there. He took his publishing company online way back in 1982 and had his first Web site in 1994.

And, sometimes, leadership means being the best. Wally's book, Net Income, was chosen by Inc. as "a book every CEO should own."

When you hire Wally as a speaker or consultant, he brings a lot to the table. You get the savvy businessperson and the decorated Marine vet. You get successful business owner and the husband and father. You get the guy who's authored a bunch of books and the guy who's done original research on leadership and on life and business in the Digital Age.

Wally brings extensive knowledge of leadership, business, and society together to give your audience an on-target, practical program that's fully researched and supported by handouts and a Program Support Site.
