Robert C. Smith "Robbie" entered the industry as a consultant, he completed more than 400 assignments for independent insurance agencies, insurance companies, and banks. Over time, he found himself wanting to know how his recommendations played out—and he wanted to start implementing and executing solutions. Today, Robbie is CEO of Oakbridge Insurance. He believes leaders are defined by their “followership”. You can declare yourself a leader, or someone else can call you a leader, but if nobody's following you, that means you're not leading. Robbie sat down with DBH Consulting to share knowledge and experience from his leadership journey.
