Thirty-four years of practiced leadership, from the Marine Corps to the oilfield to eighteen years at Chevron, turned into tools for people who carry real weight. Advice, not a lecture. Tools you keep.
Free. Three minutes. Your result on screen, no email required.
Industry promotes its best technical people into leadership and calls it a career path. The training was supposed to come from somewhere. It never came. That is a structural gap, not a personal failing, and it costs crews, projects, and careers.
You answer everyone else's questions all day. Yours have nowhere to go.
The room goes quiet when you walk in now. Nobody warned you that's part of the job.
You got promoted for what you could do. You're judged on what your people do when you're not there.
If that reads like your week, you're in the right place. None of it means you're failing. It means nobody ever handed you the tools. That's what this is.
The method is the same on every path: lead yourself first. What changes is the stakes, the format, and how much of Bobby you get. Pick the one that matches your seat.
You're 18 to 24 months into the seat. The decisions are yours alone now, and everyone below you needs you certain, even when you're not. Two days in person, one operator to another. You leave with your 12-month plan, built on your real problems. Not a binder.
You were the best tech on the crew, so they handed you the crew, and nobody taught you what to do with it. Thirteen levels of the training you should have gotten the day you were promoted. Worked, not watched.
You keep promoting your best operators and losing your best supervisors. Same person, six months apart. Bobby brings the method to your site: Leadership Framework workshops built on character and values, focused training in communication and decision making, team-building workshops, leadership assessments, and the nine Success Pattern workshops. Plus Masterclass seats for the people you just put in charge, before the gap costs you a crew.
Bobby Harrington has practiced leadership in sports, martial arts, the military, private business, and a Fortune 100 oil and gas company.
He has taught leadership in twenty-four different countries in thirteen languages. His work focuses on executive leadership, team building and design, and technical innovation for growth. He earned a degree in Intelligence Studies and International Relations later in life.
Bobby is a United States Marine Corps Desert Shield / Desert Storm Gulf War veteran, meritoriously promoted three times. He lives in Texas with his wife and family.
Lead You has been in readers' hands since 2023. Every Amazon rating it has received is five stars. The Masterclass and coaching proof lands next, from the founding cohort, and nothing goes there until it's earned.
"I absolutely LOVE the book. This is probably the first self-help book that has genuinely kept my attention. The whole experience feels engaging and relatable."
A reader of Lead You, in a message to Bobby
Bobby has taught this method in person for years, in twenty-four countries. These are people who sat through it, in their own words.
"The traits and the core values are not just for military and law enforcement, but also work in all aspects of your life if you apply them correctly."
"Great leadership training. This is for anyone at any level of life. A little intimidated at first, then realizing we're all coming from a similar place. We're all working our butts off trying to go further, but we all come to that point where we're just looking for more."
"Very specialized, very intense training that definitely offers some unique perspectives with success, failures, and just learning moments in between."
"One of the things I appreciated most was the emphasis on communication, accountability, teamwork, and leading by example. The class encouraged me to reflect on my own leadership style and identify areas where I can continue to improve."
This one is from the manager who brought Bobby in to train his offshore inspection team, written after the sessions.
"I appreciate you taking your deep personal knowledge, industry experience, and ability to foster conversation and ownership with our Inspectors. I enjoyed the sessions that I was able to attend and I have heard overwhelmingly positive feedback from the team about the content, delivery and most importantly the retention of the material that you shared."
"Thank you for putting so much effort into making an impact on the front line team who keep us safe offshore. I look forward to the next!"
Twelve statements. The kind nobody says out loud at work. Three minutes, no grades, no right answers. A real read on where the seat has you, and the name of the gap that's costing you the most.
Built on Lead You, the book. Free because the first tool always is.
This is not a coach you'll need forever. The outcome is multiplication: leaders who lead themselves, keep their crews, and build the one coming up behind them.
