Don Schmincke

Don Schmincke’s education from MIT and Johns Hopkins extends from planetary physics to bioengineering. It was a perfect combination for discovering why management theory and thought leadership fail at such high rates. Using evolutionary psychology, biology, anthropology, genetics, and neurology, his controversial, irreverent discoveries have been called uncomfortable and unconventional, but scientifically accurate. Over three decades, Don has conducted expeditions around the world to discover what works and trained over 20,000 CEOs in his findings. He is the author of the bestselling books: “The Code of the Executive,” “High Altitude Leadership,” and “Winners and Losers.” Founder of the Strategic Growth Alliance, Don now conducts workshops and retreats in over 100 industries to help executive teams replace fashionable management theory with field-tested systems for strategy, execution, and cultural performance.
