Eric J. Romero, PhD

Unconventional Leadership Consultant, Author & Reality Speaker

-Want more innovative employees?

-Is your firm slow to adapt to change?

-Are you tired of following other companies?

-Is your culture too conservative?

-Need to think outside the box?

-Do you want to beat the competition?

Problem:

Conformity and conventional thinking are frustrating and limit the potential of workers and organizations. They take many forms:

-Political correctness & fake niceness

-Bureaucracy & hierarchy

-Politics

-Face time & useless meetings

-Professional dress

-Inflexible work schedules

Conformity and conventional thinking impede innovation in both the public and private sectors. They prevent the creation of new products, services and ventures that better meet customer needs and could make the world a better place.

Solution:

Unconventional leadership is the solution! Well-known unconventional leaders (Richard Branson, Tony Hsieh, Mark Zuckerberg, etc.) are setting the example of how it can unleash creativity and flexibility (Apple, Google, Southwest Airlines, Cirque du Soleil, etc.), and as a result they beat the competition repeatedly. Unconventional leadership is the key because it results in creating an unconventional culture based on:

-Innovation

-Flexibility

-Risk-taking

These three components are essential to securing long-term competitive advantages and winning in todays global hyper-competitive environment.

The Reality Speaker!

Are you tired of the same old politically correct, candy coating, "everyone is so special" speakers and consultants? I am the complete opposite. I tell it like it is, with no B.S. ! I say the things that everyone is thinking, but no one wants to talk about...the important stuff!

I am the world's only Reality Speaker, as opposed to all the motivational speakers out there! If you are looking for a suit who uses the latest cute catch phrases, I ain't your guy. However, if you want total unedited honesty and a mold breaking perspective on leadership, strategy and competitive advantage, I am your speaker or unconventional leadership consultant.

I have years of practical managerial experience in several industries and with the U.S. government. I earned a PhD in Management, published over 36 articles and a book, Compete Outside the Box: The Unconventional Way to Beat the Competition. However, I do not fit the stereotype of a stuffy intellectual. Originally from New York City, my presentations are delivered with a sense of humor, 100% unedited honesty and street smarts!

I have helped thousands of people around the world become better leaders for over 15 years. I have presented my ideas in the United States, France, Peru, Thailand, Portugal, Mexico, India, Switzerland, China, Japan, Estonia, Sweden, Puerto Rico, and Germany. I have also lived in Japan and Germany. I am fluent in Spanish and speak basic German.

I am an unconventional thinker who simplifies the complex, will change your worldview and teach you how to become an unconventional leader!
