The project’s design is to inspire and encourage individuals in leadership to step away from popular culture, face the challenges of leadership and organizational behavior, and convincingly acknowledge that many of their personal and professional problems exist because they simply do not adapt well to the changing circumstances of modern day strategies and best practices to become a Champion of Change.
A United States Marine turned business professional, Damian D. “Skipper” Pitts, President-CEO at The Bison Group
Corporation, has been inspiring professionals in the business marketplace on the topics of leadership, organizational behavior, strategic planning, project management, team building, performance management, and Flawless Execution for more than 10 years. Throughout his professional career, he experienced his share of business failures, disappointments, dysfunctional behaviors, and frustrations as he struggled to find purpose in
developing his personal leadership signature and voice.
To help others in similar situations, Pitts developed a project that has become a life within itself.
The constructs of the project includes the following:
