DR. MARSHALL GOLDSMITH:
BAD HABITS OF SMART LEADERS
CONTENTS
WELCOME
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our summer edition of
McFarlan Rowlands Risk & Business Magazine and my first edition
as CEO.
As of February, I have assumed the role of President and CEO
here at McFarlan Rowlands. We are happy to have Rodney
Hancock focusing his attention on the role of Chairman of the
Board of Directors. The last few months have been a period of
transition here at McFarlan Rowlands, and we are keeping very
busy.
The changes in weather patterns throughout the last several
months have had a significant effect on our clients’ needs
for coverage and service. From flooding to weather-related
automobile accidents, we have had our hands full in 2018. We
continue to strive to provide a wide range of coverages unique to
the needs of our patrons.

here. This growth continues our tradition of adding insurance
companies with a strong community presence that share similar
values to our own.
