I managed people for over 30 years and now help managers to become exceptional managers of people.

In those 30+ years, I made all the errors one can make by using a form of the traditional top-down command and control approach for 12 years. Big Mistake!

Over next 10 years I moved away from top-down eventually arriving at its opposite. Wow! Managerial Nirvana! My people were four times as capable as I had thought possible and literally loved coming to work able to blow away competitors.

I personally developed, tested and proved every element of a superior strategy for managing people. This strategy is capable of producing 30 to 300% productivity gains by unleashing the full power of each employee's creativity, innovation, productivity, motivation and commitment. Though that may sound too good to be true, in 34 years managing people I used these skills to effect four successful turnarounds, including a nuclear powered cruiser and a 1300 person unionized group in New York City.

Becoming an exceptional manager of people is not about your personality or looks. It is how you treat your people because how they react to your treatment was decided by our Creator. I can teach you to be able to use these inherent human characteristics to your advantage rather than be a victim of them.
