Change Agent is more than the story of a man with an incredible life. It is a roadmap for those who want to take their careers to the next level but aren't sure what to do next. Ron shares his life's journey which included implementing new business models in four leading companies that changed them and their industries forever. He also helps readers understand why becoming a change agent can lead to a spectacular career and a fulfilling life.In a journey that includes major restructuring as CEO of Heidrick & Struggles and Vice Chairman of Spencer Stuart, two of the largest executive search firms in the world, Ron gives glimpses into his creative insight with his "Ten Career Commandments." These principles form the framework for how he has lived and operated for decades, and they serve as invaluable guideposts for those he mentors.Ron begins this book by pointing out that everything starts with changing yourself. As he likes to say, ?If you?re not willing to change, don?t expect to change others.? This involves having the right mindset. Ron also encourages readers to change their horizons and stretch the boundaries of their comfort zones. The key to lasting change is focus. While it?s easy to take on too many different good things, Ron helps readers see what clear goals and objectives can accomplish. As he also states, it?s important to hold yourself to a high standard by becoming a true professional. Only when there is a relentless commitment to the basics can one have a lasting impact on others. Despite working in D.C. as a presidential appointee during the era of turbulent Watergate politics, Ron demonstrated it was possible to get congressional approval to do a lot of good by bringing meaningful change to the Peace Corps as well as our country's domestic volunteer programs.The middle portion of this book highlights the importance of career development. After three decades in the executive search industry, Ron is more convinced than ever that change is possible, specialization is key, and developing the right network of connections is critical to success. As Ron shares, when your career and industry are stable, the larger question you should ask is, how will I continue to grow? He is convinced that what doesn't grow will die.The final few chapters focus on giving back to others and self-development. He will try to inspire you to reach your full potential and become a change agent regardless of your age. He discusses how strong faith, body, and mind are key to meeting your expectations and how these areas can be nurtured and developed. In short, he will demonstrate that being a Change Agent is a lifelong pursuit that begins in childhood and continues beyond retirement.…

RON GEREVAS believes change is the secret to life. At college, he implemented enough change in his fraternity, class, and student body to be awarded outstanding graduate of his class of 2,500. Over a 45+ year career, he helped lead the implementation of new business models for three industry leaders that changed each organization and each industry forever. Over the past 15 years, he has taught and coached more than 1,000 students while transforming a low-profiled elective career development class for 40 students a semester into the crown jewel mandatory course for all 3,000 business students. At 85, Ron continues to be a change agent in his community and college as demonstrated by this book with all proceeds going to Veterans organizations. He lives with his wife, Rosalie, in Rancho Santa Fe, California.
