Rob Lambert is on a mission to make management more interesting, rewarding, and fun. It's an uphill struggle. Rob started his career as a software tester, became VP of software engineering, and obviously then moved sideways to HR! He now runs his own management consulting company. When he's not talking all things management and leadership, he teaches communication skills, writes books, co-hosts a (bizarrely) successful podcast about stationery, takes photos and makes videos. His biggest achievement to date is surviving parenthood to three boys. Interestingly, he hopes they grow up with their mother’s bone structure as Rob has broken almost every bone in his body through carelessness and extreme sports.
