Bob Lemke is a senior executive with over 30 years of experience in manufacturing and service industries. He has notable accomplishments in business management, leading and developing organizations, and "building to last." Bob is a team player with a participative management style who subscribes to quality management principles and has a passion for excellence. (Some brave people might even call him a perfectionist.) Bob is well known for attaining profitable business results, building strong organizational cultures, and taking ownership of tough business decisions. Bob’s versatility allows him to manage details at ground-level, or to lead and provide strategic direction "from 40,000 feet." He has gained credibility and respect from large organizations for making wise business and personnel decisions, and for communicating diligently. (He has even been seen carrying a soap box from one office to the next.) He takes pride in his ability to simplify complex issues, and to explain his thinking in plain, simple English (so that even HE can understand it, he says). Bob’s personal objectives are to be trustworthy and honorable, and to keep close ties to his roots. (He is, after all, just a farm boy from Wisconsin.) He takes pride in his family and his extended "tribe." The father of three daughters, Bob has "helped little people to become good big people" by sharing his values, communicating his expectations, and making principle-centered decisions. (Just ask any one of his girls about RRRT -- Respectful, Reliable, Responsible and Trustworthy.) Bob has taught his daughters to stand up for what they believe in, even if they stand alone. And, on the rare occasion when a teenage daughter and her parents don’t agree, Bob works hard to be "tough" on the issues and "easy" on the person. In his spare time, Bob enjoys hunting, fishing and the typical "outdoorsman" stuff. (He is frequently seen at Fleet Farm and Gander Mountain, shopping for the best deal on anything mechanical or sportsman-related.) Being one of nine children, Bob learned quickly that the best memories are made in moments, not events. And the best moments are re-lived at family gatherings for years to come. (He also learned not to leave a piece of pie on the table, unattended.) Bob enjoys the simple pleasures of life and the "good kind of tired" which comes from a day of hard work at his cabin. He takes pride in his ability to coach and mentor people; and he hopes to help others succeed in concrete ways and with measurable results. |
