Emerson’s Buzbee the definition of a business guru
April 8, 2016 | Business Gurus: To whom do Iowa leaders turn for advice?
One of the things I appreciate most about being a part of the team here at Emerson is the opportunity to work with some great people. One of the best is the longtime CEO of our company, Terry Buzbee. When someone mentions a “business guru,” I think of Terry.
That’s what the feature story of this edition of Business Record Iowa is all about, Business Gurus: to whom do you turn for advice?
When you read the feature story, I believe you will enjoy learning about – and learning from – these great people. You will find some great ideas to help your company, and I hope that if you have some best practices that work, you will share them.
By the time you read this, the 2016 ABI Taking Care of Business Conference will be a little more than two months away. Now is the time for you to finalize your plans to attend this year’s event, which serves as ABI’s 113th annual conference. There is no better investment you can make in your business than to attend this event in Sioux City June 14-16.
Your entire management team will find value in the conference. Young professionals and future leaders will also find the conference particularly educational. Do you want to hear from nationally known speakers? Do you want to see first-class venues, experience terrific Iowa hospitality and interact with Iowa’s top business people, network with your peers and make sales? You can do all of that at the conference. Please go to abitakingcareofbusiness.com and register! I encourage you to bring three or four future Iowa business leaders to this event as well as your proven leaders.
By the way, when it comes to driving matters that positively affect Iowa, my frequently shared belief of “Why not ABI?” was demonstrated again last month. During Iowa Business Day on the Hill, ABI leaders visiting the Capitol helped drive a tax policy breakthrough that will help our state grow. Who can help lead Iowa to bigger and better things? Again I say, “Why not ABI?” Thank you again for helping us make a difference.
