Dr. Robert C. Stone is author of "Circle of Wisdom: A Path for Life, Mind and Leadership." This important new book is a major contribution to business leadership literature. It teaches powerful lessons in leadership and wisdom through a parable of ranch animals.
People often don't think of physicians as business leaders, but many operate highly complex business operations producing millions in income through a maze of intense regulation and high public expectation.
For two decades Dr. Stone has combined his work as a psychiatrist specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with writing, research, and leadership in the business world. He is quoted as saying he grew up on the stage and at Chamber of Commerce meetings.
As a child Dr. Stone attended business meetings with his father. While in medical school he managed an AMC Movie Theater and founded his own company that produced the first hand-held versions of 30 medical reference texts.
These early business experiences prepared him to serve as Medical Director of the massive Southern Nevada Adult Mental Health System. There he supervised more than 1,000 employees and directed the care of more than 10,000 public mental health clients in Nevada.
Much of Dr. Stone's work has centered around helping people who are experiencing intense crises such as domestic violence, torture, and PTSD. He found these experiences have a surprising commonality with running a business.
"In business you have to expect the unexpected. Technology can change almost overnight and your business can suddenly be on the brink of obsolesce. You need the wisdom and strategies to make the right changes quickly," Dr. Stone said.
Dr. Stone is an active and dynamic speaker, giving as many as 100 unique group presentations per year. He has presented in more than a dozen states plus Canada and England. He has published over thirty scientific papers and book chapters.
After discussing his plans to write "Circle of Wisdom" in seminars and interviews to more than 4 million people, he finally sat down to write it. The result is a dynamic and eye-opening fable that gets to the very heart of what it means to be an effective business leader.
