I met Hap Klopp since we are both on the advisory board of Scottevest. Among his many exploits, Hap is the best known as the founder of The North Face, where he served as President and CEO for 20 years. During that time The North Face was honored with many awards for being the best managed company in the outdoor industry. Hap led The North Face to its position as the largest and most successful company in the business. After selling The North Face in 1990, Hap founded HK Consulting, a company focused on creative business strategy, marketing and promotion and has augmented this work with investing and speaking engagements. Listen to Hap talk about:
1. How success in business is a series of linked recoveries.
2. How you need to trust your instrinsic knowledge inside to make important decisions.
3. How he revitalizes companies using his “Turning Back the Arrow” strategy.
4. How to throw a helicopter off a mountain!
You can also get Hap’s book, The Adventure of Leadership to learn more which was co-authored by Brian Tracy.
