asily distracted and hyperactive, Clint Pulver was a challenged student in his early school days. When most teachers wrote him off as a problem, one educator saw his problem as an opportunity. “Being hyperactive, I was always tapping something, and
it was really distracting to my teachers,” says Pulver. “When I got tired of tapping with one hand, I tapped with the other.” One day, a teacher took notice and tested his ability. He said to me, “‘Clint, I think you are ambidextrous.’ He pulled out a pair of drumsticks from his desk and asked me to play with them, which I did, and then he said, ‘I think you are a drummer.’ This changed the direction of my life forever.”
It was the first time anyone had taken his problem and given it a positive purpose. Fast forward to adulthood,
Pulver made a career being a professional drummer for over 20 years, playing with top headlining fellow musi- cians, and has appeared on America’s Got Talent and in several feature films. He founded the UVU Drumline known as the Green Man Group, which he directed for six years and went on to direct the Drumline for the NBA’s Utah Jazz until 2015. Now, as the president and founder of The Center for Employee Retention, Pulver transforms how corporations create lasting loyalty through his workforce research as “The Undercover Millennial,” and his latest book, I Love It Here: How Great Leaders Create Organizations Their People Never Want to Leave, establishing himself as a leading authority on the subject.
Pulver strongly believes that a single moment in time can change a person’s life. We caught up with him to discuss this and how it can change a leader’s view of the generational workforce.
