For over 20 years, Tony Chatman has partnered with some of the most successful organizations in the world—including Chase Bank, the U.S. Secret Service, Phillips 66, Clear Channel, and St. Joseph’s Health. He specializes in bridging differences in perspectives, communication styles, and experiences by addressing the universal need we all share: to feel valued and seen.

As a scientist and chemical engineer, as well as a husband, father, and former leader of a nonprofit dedicated to community upliftment, Tony combines intellect with humanity. He is equal parts head and heart.

Tony’s book is The Force Multiplier: How to Lead Teams Where Everyone Wins.

We discuss:

• The mission statement of leadership
• What is a Force Multiplier?
• What makes relationship-based leadership effective?
• Relationship deposits and relationship withdrawals
• Seven keys to being a force multiplier
• Ross: “I earned it, but now I have to learn it.”
