Greg Bell, author of "Water The Bamboo®: Unleashing the Potential of Teams and Individuals", is a recognized thought leader and founder of the Water The Bamboo Center For Leadership. As a student and keen observer of highly successful people and teams, he distills his findings into the Water The Bamboo methodology. Water The Bamboo is a metaphor for individual and team success. If you water giant timber bamboo in the first year, nothing happens. In the second year, nothing happens. In the third year, nothing happens. But when you water bamboo in the fourth year, it will rocket up an astonishing 90 feet in only 60 days. Do you and your team have the kind of vision, faith, patience, persistence and focus to achieve what you want? Those who catch the spirit and understand the principles of the bamboo farmer will see their visions suddenly explode into reality—seemingly out of nowhere. Greg has brought the principles of Water The Bamboo to over 500 clients and associations and tens of thousands of individuals, to transform leadership and spark much-needed change. Every team, organization, and individual is unique. Greg brings a tool kit of practical exercises, inspirational stories of triumph and lots of interaction to customize programs that entertain, challenge and motivate participants.
