About

Business speaker Garry Ridge is a celebrated consultant and executive coach who re-imagined the WD-40 Company’s culture as its former CEO. An unforgettable public speaker, Garry Ridge helps audiences around the world recast leadership in a powerful new light.

Garry Ridge is one of the world’s most successful proponents of servant leadership. As former CEO of the WD-40 Company, he transformed a traditional workplace into what he calls the WD-40 tribe. Leaders, according to Ridge, must learn constantly, and must share that knowledge freely with the rest of the workforce. Leadership, then, is less about being in charge and more about taking care of the people in your charge.

As a result, WD-40 enjoys a remarkable 93% level of employee engagement. The company’s bottom line has prospered as well, posting an annual compounded growth rate of roughly 14%.

Simon Sinek named Ridge the Igniter of the Year in 2016, and Inc. honored him as the fourth-best CEO on earth.

Ridge tells the complete story of his success in 2020’s Tribe Culture: How it Shaped WD-40 Company. Along with Ken Blanchard, he also wrote the groundbreaking business bestseller Helping People Win at Work. His achievements have been featured in several books, including Marshall Goldsmith and Frances Hesselbein’s landmark Work is Love Made Visible.

Teaching is central to Ridge’s conception of leadership. Additionally, he is an adjunct professor at the University of San Diego and a certified executive coach. His devotion to learning all he can and relating his knowledge engagingly and memorably shines through in his keynote addresses.
