      <image:caption>Gary’s Keynotes Gary’s keynotes are both motivational and enlightening.  He works closely with his clients to gain a deep understanding of their needs, and tailors his keynote to drive home the most salient messages.  For industry groups, he dramatically persuades its members both on the need to embrace change and the six key elements essential for successful change in their organization.  For a company’s leadership team, he helps them embrace senior management’s change agenda and explains what they must do to be successful in driving change.    For the broader organization, which is often resistant to change, Gary explains why change is essential, how they benefit by embracing senior management’s change agenda, and the consequences of resistance to change.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Gary A. Garfield</image:title>
      <image:caption>Author. Speaker. Consultant. Coach. As critical as change is in our ever changing world, most organizational and group change efforts fail.  Why?  Because change is hard, very hard.  Habits are stubborn; they do not die easily.  Studies have shown that about two-thirds of all change efforts fail to reach their goals. As an expert on successfully driving change, as well as leadership and corporate culture, Gary is a highly sought-after speaker, author, consultant and coach.  Gary is the former CEO of Bridgestone Americas, a 55,000 person company with operations on five continents and the successor company to the iconic Firestone Tire and Rubber Company.   During his tenure, he successfully drove radical change throughout the organization, including the culture, the strategy, the vision, and, where necessary, the people.  Unlike most change efforts, it worked.  The company’s profits grew by an astounding 500 percent in six years.   Gary comes from a position of hands-on success.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Book - Driving Results</image:title>
      <image:caption>Six Lessons Learned From Transforming An Iconic Company by Gary A. Garfield Company turnarounds are no easy feat. Nor is it easy to successfully drive significant change. Studies have shown that over two-thirds of all change efforts fail. Dysfunctional and entrenched corporate cultures, leadership problems and other issues so often doom transformation efforts and a leader’s agenda. In Driving Results: Six Lessons Learned from Transforming an Iconic Company, veteran executive Gary A. Garfield delivers an inspiring and actionable blueprint for business change and transformation that is as hands-on as it is original. In the book, you’ll explore the six key elements necessary to successfully drive change in any organization, department, or team: leadership, vision, culture, people, alignment, and focused execution. Garfield draws on his extensive experience at an iconic American company to inform his singularly effective approach. His laser-focus on the six key elements of change enables you to overcome all obstacles to your change effort, and allows you to implement the strategies you need to achieve the results you want. Driving Results relies on startling insights into dysfunctional organizations, what makes them tick, and how to get them back on track. It also explains in specific detail how to sell the changes that need to be made across the organization and then how to implement those changes in ways that guarantee your vision will become a reality. A must-read compilation of thought- provoking and practical strategies for enabling dramatic change in any organization, department or group, Driving Results is the hands-on business transformation blueprint that executives and managers have been waiting for.</image:caption>
