Robert Terry

Bob Terry Stories...Add Yours Below!

Robert Terry of Action Wheel Leadership Dr. Robert Terry is best known as the creator of the Action Wheel Leadership Process. He wrote the book, Authentic Leadership: Courage In Action that began the ongoing conversation about what it means to be an authentic leader. Bob Terry later added to the conversation in his book, Seven Zones For Leadership.

He is also remembered for his writings on unity and diversity. We frequently receive requests to use or reprint "The Parable of Ups and Downs."

Another of Dr. Bob Terry's "claims to fame" was having done Myers-Briggs training for 1000 people at the same time in one large room!

Any time we reconnect with someone who knew Bob we hear wonderful, and often funny, stories about the impact he had on their life.

Bob Terry loved to engage in what he termed "serious play." He knew that people learn best when they are engaged in the process and having fun as well. Bob was also a person who "gave himself away" to others. There are many teachers, trainers, coaches and leadership consultants who were mentored by Bob.

We are often asked to share "Bob Terry stories." However we realize that the stories we know are only a small part of what could be shared. So we have created this page to allow any who knew Bob, took part in a class or course he taught, were mentored or coached by Bob or had lunch with him at the (now extinct) Cities Grill to share those stories.

If you find this page and know others who have stories about Bob Terry please forward the link to this page to them as well. We look forward to a growing collection of memories to add to the Bob Terry legacy.
