The Winner’s Mindset: Leadership, Legacy, and Learning in Uncertain Times
- Larry Hofstetter
- Schaeffer Manufacturing Company
Larry Hofstetter is the first non-family president of the 187-year-old Schaeffer Manufacturing Company. As the steward of a business founded in 1839, Larry has mastered the delicate balance of honoring nearly two centuries of history while navigating the complexities of modern disruption.
In this Tugboat Institute® talk, Larry explores his framework for cultivating a “winner’s mindset” that transforms unforeseen disruptive events from potential crises into strategic opportunities. Drawing on Schaeffer’s historical resilience through depressions, catastrophic fires, and global wars, he illustrates how a foundation of trust enables an organization to adapt with speed and clarity. By distilling 180 years of institutional knowledge into an Evergreen® philosophy, Larry provides a roadmap for leading through uncertainty while maintaining a steadfast commitment to future generations.
