Roger Botton has been in the automotive industry for over 30 years. His unique leadership ability provides intellectual light on the integral works of the dealership, creating an engaging and meaningful work environment for members of his team. Roger’s journey in the car biz began at ripe age 14 years old! Being the oldest born son of a dentist had its perks, but living next door to a car dealer was all about excitement. Intrigued by the engineering, styling and story behind each vehicle the dealer brought home, he anxiously waited for the day he could get behind the wheel of one. By nature he’s relaxed and lives in the moment making life’s twists and turns easier. Roger values change and innovation, and knows the importance to evaluate and adjust the “what” and “how” when circumstances shift. When he is unsure of what to do, he turns to his powerful network of industry thought leaders who are eager to support him, if needed. Roger has an uncanny ability to understand people and enjoys building a team. Because of his “walk-the-talk” positive influence, people follow him. As a leader he inspires others to believe in themselves by believing in them. He shows attentiveness to help others flourish personally and professionally and is deeply gratified when those he has helped reach their goal. A common theme among his peers and competitors is that Roger is a trustworthy, competent, and accomplished individual. Roger is a catalyst for success – his talk, enthusiasm and energy cause others to be more friendly, enthusiastic and energized. Instinctively Roger is transparent, optimistic and motivating. These core strengths help him cultivate strong and lasting relationship with his business partners, co-workers and clients. His inherent drive for success and passion for making a difference influences others to be authentic. Roger Botton motivates others to leverage their strengths and take ownership in cultivating a long-lasting career in the car business.
