Over the past three decades, Dennis Perkins has studied leaders and teams facing conditions of extreme challenge. Based on his personal experiences, backed up by research, he has identified the critical strategies that enable leaders and teams to reach their greatest potential in any challenging environment.
He will share the excitement and the lessons drawn from one seminal event: he sailed as a crew member on the Midnight Rambler, winners of the challenging Sydney to Hobart Race, the 626 nautical-mile race, often called the Everest of offshore racing.
A graduate of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Dennis served as a Marine infantry officer in Vietnam. He subsequently received his MBA from Harvard University, and a PhD in psychology at The University of Michigan. He is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of The Syncretics Group, a firm devoted to effective leadership and teamwork in demanding environments.
