Welcome to another addition of our Profile of a Leader series, where some of today’s top leaders and leadership experts take us through their personal leadership journeys, highlighting their greatest influences, successes, setbacks, and personal struggles.
There is a minority of people who see our world in a much different way than the rest of us do. As the saying goes, they are people who march to the beat of their own drum and know deep down in their heart that it is not they who are out of step, but everyone else. They see and address life’s problems from a different angle than others and, as a result, their solutions often seem, on first blush, bizarre and even scary. But, often, those are exactly the type of solutions that are needed. Well, today’s featured leader, Roy Osing, is such an individual. He proudly wears the contrarian label and, just as proudly, will point you to the successes his contrarian nature has helped him and his various teams and clients manifest.
Roy is a former president, CMO, and entrepreneur with over 40 years of successful executive leadership experience in virtually every aspect of business. As President of a major data and internet company, Roy’s leadership took the company from its early stages to $1 Billion in annual sales. Currently, he devotes his time and energy to inspiring leaders, entrepreneurs and organizations to stand apart from the average boring crowd and achieve their true potential. He is also the author of the no-nonsense book series ‘BE DiFFERENT or be dead,’ and the host of “The Maverick Paradox Podcast.”
We pick up with Roy’s narrative as he relates what he sees as the greatest challenge facing today’s business leaders; and we continue as he takes us through some of the highlights of his 40 years as, what he refers to, an “audacious leader.”. And after Roy’s story, stay with us as Stuart and Rachel briefly discuss a few of the highlights that stood out to them.
