This episode of Better Together welcomes Bob Chapman, chairman and CEO of St. Louis, MO-based Barry-Wehmiller, a $3B global capital equipment and engineering solutions company with more than 12,000 team members. Over the past two decades, Chapman's approach has evolved from traditional management practices to Truly Human Leadership—a people-centric approach where his team members feel valued, cared for, and integral to the company’s purpose. Chapman will also be the opening keynoter at CorrExpo in Cleveland, OH, August 28-30. During his presentation, Chapman will share what’s possible “at the intersection of great business strategy and profound care for people.”

In this inspiring conversation with Better Together host Jan Bottiglieri, Chapman speaks about the transformative effect this unique approach can have on the pulp, paper, and packaging industry—and how caring about people is not just successful, but absolutely necessary.

The Better Together podcast offers engaging conversations with the most innovative leaders in the packaging, pulp, paper, tissue and converting industries through wide-ranging interviews on current topics relevant to listeners at every stage of their careers.
