Robert J. Haworth has been a successful consultant, entrepreneur, CEO, and college professor, and is now embarking on his third career as a successful author of business management books.
Robert’s first career encompassed three decades in the business world. After earning his MBA, he worked for several large, global consulting firms before starting his own company and successfully growing it to national prominence. Throughout this successful business career, Robert worked with large, complex clients on major organizational change initiatives. These projects included strategic planning, and the design and implementation of new technologies, business processes and business model re-alignments.
After selling his company to a British firm, he embarked on his second career as a college professor. He taught the topics that he is passionate about and what he did in the real world, including business management, strategic planning, and entrepreneurship. Robert will tell you that, though he loved his consulting “gig,” being in the classroom with his students from all over the world was the highlight of his career. His students must have thought the same because the business school senior class voted him their “Favorite Professor” year after year.
Robert is now beginning his third career as an author. He writes books about business management topics he cares about, and provides great advice and recommendations, along with interesting stories, using his 38 years of experience so his readers can improve their own organizations.
