I don't think you're going to find many insurance-company CEOs who have qualified for and competed in the Hawaii Triathlon twice," says Jamie Maguire Jr. (left), chairman & CEO of Philadelphia Insurance Cos. Both he and President & COO Sean Sweeney (right) compete in Ironman events.

Maguire says that the skills required to lead an insurance carrier share more in common with the skills necessary for competing in a triathlon than one might initially think.

Both of these competitive pursuits, Maguire observes, require "perseverance, determination, discipline and paying the price to win, each and every day."
