Bob Rosen & Healthy Companies International • Founded in 1988 by CEO advisor, organizational psychologist, and bestselling author Bob Rosen. • Mission is to transform the world’s organizations--one leader at a time. • Awarded a multi-year grant from the MacArthur Foundation to research the characteristics of successful executives and their companies – resulting in hundreds of interviews with CEOs in 45 countries. • One of the most critical findings is that executives with the most successful, sustainable organizations are fueled--and re-fueled--by daily attention to six particular aspects of their lives: their physical, emotional, intellectual, social, vocational, and even spiritual health. • Every day, Healthy Companies advisors are coaching executives on optimizing their performance, helping organizations navigate through change, and guiding senior teams on how to build productive relationships with their boards, with each other, and with their employees.
