REQUEST INFO

Dr. Rob Murray helps leaders, teams, and organizations fight for the Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength® of their life and leadership.

The leaders he works with are usually successful but tired, leading but isolated, driving results but wondering why.

His premise is simple. Performance problems are rarely performance problems, and working harder was never going to fix it.

Rob has spent the last decade inside executive teams at large global companies like Ashley Furniture, Geodis, and WSP, and working with leaders from companies like Citi and Sevita and across major league sports.

He works through keynotes, team workshops, executive intensives, and multi-month cohorts. At Ashley alone, his team has run more than 30+ leadership cohorts.

He doesn't speak about leadership from the outside. What he teaches comes from the inside, from years of seeing the same cross-section up close: what healthy leadership actually looks like, and what unhealthy leadership costs.

Rob is co-creator of the Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength® leadership model and The Human Operating System™.

He built two assessments on them. Quadrant Flow™, a valid and reliable psychometric assessment of how a leader is wired, and the Strength Capacity Index™, which measures the health of a team's capacity.

He is the author of several books, including The Human Operating System, Fighting for Heart, The Power of Alignment, and Clearing the Charge, endorsed by faculty at Harvard Medical School and Cambridge Judge Business School.

Before founding Transformed Leader, Rob was the director of Westfall Speakers, walking alongside Westfall Gold and playing a small part in helping their nonprofit clients raise more than $2 billion. He holds a Masters in Social and Civic Entrepreneurship and a Doctorate in Transformational Leadership.

Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Rob lives in Nashville with his wife Natalie and two of their four children.

FEATURED TOPICS

  • RECOVERING THE HEART & SOUL OF YOUR LEADERSHIP

    The qualitative side of business, and what it returns

    Good isn't the ceiling. Great isn't either. The research behind Firms of Endearment found that companies built on care and human connection outperformed both the market and the Good to Great companies over more than a decade. The qualitative side isn't the soft part of the business. It's the part that compounds.

    Most organizations build Mind and Strength, strategy and execution. Almost nobody builds Heart and Soul. Rob shows owners and executives what investing in those actually looks like on a Monday, and what it costs when they don't.

  • Fighting for Heart

    With his South African authenticity and leadership research, Rob invites audiences to learn about his Heart-Engaged EQ system to help recover and integrate their hearts to use it powerfully and unapologetically in every aspect of their life.

  • Breakdown or Breakout

    Leading through what you caused and what you didn't

    Nobody plans for the thing that actually happens. The market that turned. The phone call on a Tuesday. And the one nobody wants to name: the decision you made that blew up in your hands. The event isn't what determines the outcome. What determines it is whether the leader has an operating system with instructions for what comes next. Most don't, which is why the same disruption breaks one company and breaks another one open.

  • the Four Hats in a partnership

    Partner. Person. Position. Performer.

    Most partnerships don't fail on strategy. They fail on relationship, years before anyone admits it. Every partner wears four hats, and each one is silently asking a different question. Can we trust you to carry the role? Can we rely on what you commit to? Will you protect what we're building? Do you see the person, not just the role? Confuse the hats and the conflict becomes personal. Separate them and it becomes solvable.
