 Roger P.
DiSilvestro brings 30 years of hard-won leadership experience to The Art
of Constructive Confrontation. As Chairman and CEO of Athlon Sports Communications,
he has left his mark as a recruiter and leader of top executive and sales
talent. Under his innovative guidance Athlon grew from a company with
limited vision to an expanding, industry-leading enterprise. At the time
of Roger’s retirement in 2005, Athlon revenues were over 30 times
what they were earning upon his arrival. Roger believes in recruiting
the best people and then getting the best out of them through the power
of communications and constructive confrontation.
Roger is a compelling speaker, a compassionate coach, and powerful consultant.
From the podium at a conference or leadership retreat, in the conference
room, in the chair across from your desk, or on the telephone, he teaches
the communications principles and techniques that build the people who
build your business. The Art of Constructive Confrontation is his first
book.
During his 30-year career in business communications, Roger has helped
dozens of clients improve their internal and external communications strategies that
led to stronger, more productive, and profitable, internal and external
business relationships.
