Background

About Bob Barry

Mr. Barry is highly respected by his staff, the Student Affairs staff, and his academic staff and faculty colleagues across campus… His professionalism, skills, interests and abilities, and experiences qualify him as an outstanding candidate for career advancement.” Dr. Stephen Summers, Emeritus Deputy Asst. Chancellor for Student Affairs, UW-Whitewater - My integrity is my most important asset and I maintain it by being action oriented. When I commit to something I take the responsibility to fulfill that commitment. I’ve adapted my leadership skills following Ken Blanchard’s Situational Leadership Model, customizing my style to meet the needs of the various members of the team. Depending on a person’s motivation and skill level, I flex my leadership style to include delegating, coaching, supporting and directing. I lead by example and with a sense of humor and I support fellow team members by holding them accountable while still showing care and concern. I also know how to be a good follower. I support the team by fulfilling my assigned role expeditiously and when called upon, by assisting others to fulfill their role. I’m the reliable “go to” person when something needs to be accomplished- “The key to Bob, however, is that he is an honest person, has strong integrity, and a sound philosophical background that will guide and direct any and all decisions he makes.” Paul Plinske, Past Director, Intercollegiate Athletics, UW-Whitewater
