Bob Green

Owner

TAB North Shore
Illinois

The "power of we" has been a cornerstone of my leadership initiatives for over 20 years.  Throughout this time, from virtual teams across the world to those in  adjoining offices, the outcomes that we achieved were always due to our combined insights and efforts.  Rather than breaking down silos within the organization, my approach has been to build catwalks between them.  By connecting the value of the people with this critical specialized knowledge we always achieved the intended outcome for the client.  In many cases, the most important first step has been to help overcome the fear and apprehension among people.  The  outcomes that our clients were expecting didn't require anyone on our team to be the "hero" of the engagement.  Instead, we needed to be confident enough in each other to recognize what we know and do well, and when we need to ask for help with something beyond our body of knowledge.  The most interesting challenge was bringing together two companies with disparate values to create something that neither company could achieve individually.  The best outcome was 150% year-over-year growth, and we did it together.  I've earned an M.B.A. from Canisius College and B.S. in Industrial Technology from Buffalo State College.

Member Success

I have found my investment in TAB to be one of the best things I have done. One of the benefits of joining TAB has been the Peer Board Member’s help in designing a sales program that works. It works because I took the time to help our sales people become better salespeople, not merely pressure them to do more of the same. By being around people who think differently who are going to ask me each meeting how I did, compels me to make the improvements that enable me to enjoy life, and boy, do I enjoy life. I recommend this amazing program without question.

I find that the sharing of ideas and problem solving in others businesses helps me think creatively about my own business. Stepping outside of my day to day work helps me look at the bigger picture and focus on short and long term goals.

The Alternative Board is a place to learn and gather information. It is a group of people to bounce my solutions or ideas off before I try them. I gain valuable input for the decisions I have to make. Also it is very easy to see other’s mistakes, but not realize you have made the same mistake or are currently making the same mistake. Decisions, solutions & especially employee issues become obvious.
