I help managers and executives to become exceptional managers of people, after having proven what I profess over 34 years of managing people.
I started out using the traditional top-down command and control approach to managing people, but eventually learned how to move to the opposite approach. I have made every error possible but was able to find superior fixes to each.
In the process, I personally developed, tested and proved every element of a superior strategy for managing people. This strategy is capable of producing 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, I used these skills to effect four successful turnarounds, including a nuclear powered cruiser and a 1,300 person unionized group in New York City. These experiences gave me the background to be able to help executives and managers significantly increase the performance of their employees.
If you want highly motivated, highly committed, highly productive employees who love to come to work and literally blow away the competition with their creativity and innovation, I can show you exactly how to do it. Lots of books tell you what to do, but I can tell you what, why and precisely how to do it.

Defining Leadership, What Exactly Is It?
Most attempts to define leadership refer to one or more characteristics of a leader or to an action that a leader takes, such as providing a vision, getting things done through people, or challenging the status quo. Problematically, these are mere descriptions, not definitions. The individualistic actions a leader chooses to take and the idiosyncratic traits a leader exhibits do not reflect the essence of leadership.
