Dr. Sidney Barton: John Goering Impact Award Recipient
September 9, 2022
When he worked as an engineering firm’s marketing VP, Dr. Sid Barton’s diverse team was extremely close and successful. His boss was known for hiring horses – people who take something and run with it – and he asked Barton his secret.
“I said, ‘We have a lot of horses, but I am a jockey. I let these people run, but I’m here to help them.’” This perspective has helped drive Barton’s success over the years – both at the Goering Center and the University of Cincinnati’s Carl H. Lindner College of Business.
Barton’s been in a variety of roles at the Goering Center since its inception in 1989, and he is the deserved recipient of the Center’s first ever John Goering Impact Award.
