In this episode of Tripoint Conversations, I sit down with Vic Roos, founder of VPR International and a leadership advisor with more than 30 years of corporate experience.

Vic spent decades inside organizations like GE Appliances before realizing something was missing. In the middle of COVID, while leading global procurement teams, he had a simple but radical insight: organizations don’t just need performance, they need kindness.

That insight led him to bring the Working Genius framework into GE Appliances, shift into internal consulting, and eventually step away from corporate life entirely. The tipping point came on a park bench in Seneca Park, when the same encouragement he once gave his wife was returned to him.

Now, through VPR International, Vic works with leaders and teams to build clarity, trust, and compassion inside organizations, helping them replace politics with vulnerability and ego with humility.

We talk about:

• Why organizational health outlasts short-term metrics

• How Working Genius changes team dynamics

• The courage it takes for leaders to say “I don’t know”

• And why love might be the most underestimated leadership principle
