KEVAN LAMM
Kevan Lamm is a leadership development expert who explores the science of critical issue identification and leadership strategies.
I am a researcher and educator at the convergence of agriculture, environmental sciences, and the corporate realm. This eclectic blend has shaped my journey into a tapestry of experiences that have enriched my understanding of the world.
My passion for sustainable, robust, resource management, efficient, and effective practices drives me to explore innovative solutions that prioritize environmental preservation while elevating agricultural productivity. Growing up on a small cattle ranch in northern Colorado gave me the opportunity to see the importance of agriculture first hand. I then applied many of the foundational lessons I learned to the dynamic world of Fortune 500 companies as a management consultant.
​
Working with industries ranging from telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, and finance has given me unique insights into the intricate landscape of corporate operations. This intriguing crossroads has allowed me to bridge the gap between the corporate and environmental sectors, encouraging a harmonious coexistence where success is measured not only in financial gains but also in sustainable resource stewardship.
​
I believe in the power of collaboration, uniting experts from diverse fields to catalyze transformative change. Together, we embark on journeys that redefine possibilities, seeking to integrate sustainability into the fabric of businesses and institutions.
​
My experiences have led to the development of outreach, research, and education innovations that optimize yield and value. But the journey doesn't end there – it extends to visionary leadership development for individuals, organizations, and communities - to develop the skills necessary for others to make a positive change in the world.
​
Through my education and outreach activities, I aim to inspire others to embrace their roles as agents of change, igniting a collective responsibility for the future. The process of sharing these narratives, from large international academic conferences to local outreach presentations, allows me to connect with audiences on a profound level, fostering a sense of shared purpose and determination.
​
Amidst my accomplishments, I remain grounded and eager to learn from those around me. The pursuit of knowledge and authentic connections has become an essential aspect of my transformative leadership approach.
Thinking about the future, I am committed to upholding ethical principles and redefining conventional norms, inspired by the wise words of David Brooks and his notion of two lives, one of resume accomplishment, and the other of obituary contribution. My aspiration is to leave a lasting impact, where the legacy of my efforts lies in the resilience of our planet and the positive change fostered across industries, towards a more sustainable and empowered world.
