Bob Anderson &
The Leadership Circle

Bob Anderson’s story as an innovator and visionary in leadership began in high school and college where he staffed intensive personal and leadership development retreats. In business school, his love for statistics and economics helped to culture a unique talent: he became skillful at taking complex ideas and integrating them into models and methods for leadership development that are powerful, tangible and accessible.

For the last 20 years Bob has created and conducted intensive leadership development workshops. To better serve his clients, Bob searched for an assessment tool that matched the frameworks he had been developing for nearly 30 years. He found himself using multiple surveys because no single tool did enough to reveal both behavioral competencies and the underlying motivational system that establishes the pattern of strengths and weaknesses. He decided to create a tool that did it all. With The Leadership Circle Profile, he succeeded.

According to Bob, "The kind of cultural change we have been striving for requires far more than mere skill development from our leaders. It requires that they grow—that they significantly upgrade their inner ‘operating system’ to be able to embody the kind of leadership that can create the envisioned culture."
