No matter how brilliant you are, success is ultimately in the hands of others.

Consultant and Author

David Reynolds

David Reynolds knows from his many years on boats, docks, working for both non-profit and for-profit companies – not to mention a deep knowledge of industrial, government, and military history from around the world – that organizations and leaders are most effective when they encourage democratic processes, efficiency, independent thinking and action, camaraderie, and stay focused on the mission.

His perspective and knowledge might convince some that he came from a privileged background and was a Rhodes Scholar turned Ivy League professor. In actuality, he developed these self-taught lessons while trying to survive on the streets and in the shipyards of his youth. He remains a forthright, honest, and loyal companion and advocates for justice and decency in large and small scenarios, despite every setback imaginable. This will surely resonate with future leaders and people who want to improve the world.
