He is also a Vistage chair with Vistage International – and understands the importance of accountability in business…

Marketing Rant:

Focus on 5 key areas of activity & accountability agreement:

  • Planning–Managing strategy
  • Leading–Managing your team
  • Organizing–Managing processes
  • Development—Managing self
  • Administering–Managing resources

Educational Background and Career:

Started out at Florida State for music education.

Recruited to ADM, an ingredients company in Decatur, Illinois. Received his MBA from Illinois State University.

Worked as Head of HR for WESCO Distribution, bringing Powell to Pittsburgh.

Mentors:

Powell’s grandmother instilled the importance of simple wisdom.

His father, a NYC fireman, taught him to eradicate the word “can’t” from his vocabulary.

BS in the workplace:

Individuals who are affected by new leaders being hired above them should not take it out on the person who was elected, as they were just going for the job.

Powell’s advice:

Be aware of “title-itis” and the fact that it can get “lonely at the top”.

Part Two of our conversation with Robert Powell will go live Thursday 7/28 on the No BS Marketing Show.
