Roger Smith is the “unlikely leader.” His life story is full of peaks and valleys, an incredible mix of productivity and addiction, and a turnaround worthy of a Hallmark movie. From a high school dropout to a CEO, something that seems to be an essential element for some of the most successful people like “Auntie Anne” Beiler and Ralph Lauren. Roger has taken the less-than-orthodox lessons he learned on the streets and intertwined them with the more polished lessons from his mentors to become the CEO of two large insurance companies. He shares his story and thoughts on the qualities and practices he has employed and trained over his career to lead his companies to success. Now, with a little more time on his hands, he has written a new book, “The Most Unlikely Leader: An Unbelievable story from GED to CEO.” For more from Roger, visit his website for his social media links, appearances, and more.
