Bob Chapman transforms organizations by championing the revolutionary concept of Truly Human Leadership, where business success and human care are perfectly aligned rather than competing priorities.
As Chairman and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller, Chapman grew the company from $20 million to $3.6 billion in revenue with 12,000 team members. His leadership approach is now featured in a Harvard Business School case study taught at over 70 business schools. His bestselling book "Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family" has been translated into eight languages.
Chapman's people-centric leadership model helps organizations address critical business challenges including employee retention, engagement, and productivity. By implementing his Truly Human Leadership principles, companies create environments where team members feel valued and connected to organizational purpose, resulting in measurable improvements in operational performance and innovation. This approach has proven particularly effective during periods of economic uncertainty and workplace transformation.
Audiences leave Bob's presentations with practical frameworks for building trust-based cultures, actionable strategies for measuring the human impact of leadership decisions, and clear methods for aligning business metrics with employee wellbeing. His insights help leaders at all levels implement caring practices that drive sustainable growth.
