Robert L. Perry's new book, "Leadership the Ozarks Way," traces the history of the Ozarks culture and points out how that culture shapes leadership traits and skills. The area is described in terms of geography and history, and Perry traces the predominant culture through its Appalachian roots and all the way back to the Scots-Irish immigrations of the 18th Century. This is Dr. Perry's seventh book. His other writings deal with organizational health, strategic planning for non-profits, and insights for effective leadership. His research includes extensive interviewing of 20 outstanding Ozarks-based leaders. Sociological qualities of the culture and experiences of his research group, led to the identification of eight important qualities that impact Ozarks leadership. These qualities are: Integrity, Family, Hard work, Creativity, Storytelling, Music, Humor and Faith. The book contains anecdotes from the lives of the people in the survey group, thus it encourages young Ozarkers to value their heritage, have confidence in their capacities and pursue excellence in leadership. The book reflects the same sense of humor, straight talk and practical applications that the author learned from his Ozarks upbringing.

Bob Perry grew up on a farm west of Verona, Missouri. He became a Baptist minister and served as a pastor for 15 years, later becoming the executive director of associations of churches in Missouri and Virginia. He served as an international missionary in Mexico for seven years. In 2014 he will celebrate 50 years as a minister. He pursued education as a way to "escape" the hard life of the farm, but has come to appreciate and treasure the experiences of growing up on an Ozarks farm. After traveling the world and living in huge urban centers, he returned to the Ozarks in 2003. Bob and his wife, Marilyn, live on eight acres a few miles west of Springfield, Missouri. He serves as a church consultant and provides ongoing ministry through Churchnet (the Baptist General Convention of Missouri) and the Greene County Baptist Association. Dr. Robert L. Perry graduated as valedictorian at Verona High School. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Missouri State University, he completed Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees at Midwestern Seminary.
