For those who have watched Meet Joe Black, Russ Harrison reminds me of Anthony Hopkins’ character, William Parrish — a man who has led an exemplary life of courage, honor, integrity, success and caring. He IS the Evolved Caveman. From the first time I met him, when I was struck by his gentle nature and intelligence, I wanted to know more about him. After graduating from USC, Russ left behind his wife and 5-week-old son to become a Platoon Leader in Vietnam as an Officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. His experiences in Vietnam, where he was shot twice and led a platoon of tanks, would forever shape his future. After Vietnam, Russ worked for Ross Perot’s EDS, was the youngest ever VP at Bank of America, was founding President of American Airlines’ Information Technology subsidiary, and has served as CEO of companies in the IT and medical device technologies fields. He has taught leadership development to Generals, Top Gun pilots and in Admirals. Now he serves on boards and presents to CEOs on the concept of quiet confidence. In this interview, we talk about topics such as…
• The life-changing lessons Russ learned in the Marines
• How Russ went from being in the middle of the Man Box Culture to evolving past it.
• Where Russ found his quiet confidence and where you can find yours.
• What Russ taught Generals and Admirals about leadership development.
• What lessons Russ learned over his 40 years of running companies about how to lead people.
• Russ’ definition of success and happiness.
Believe me, this is one of my favorite interviews. Ever. You don’t want to miss this one!
