Experienced manager looking to brush up?

Either way, you’re a manager who wants to be the best. That makes you my kind of manager. I provide articles, workshops and personal mentoring for those who want to benefit from a lifetime of management training experience.

Let’s start with the basics. Check out my management articles and subscribe to my newsletter, “Your 1-on-1” below. It’s weekly advice and tips you can use right away to take your management to a level that’s almost an art form.

"Art is about intent and communication, not substances. An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it personally . . . . But the most visceral art is direct. One to one, mano a mano, the artist and the viewer. It’s the art of interaction. It’s what you do. The art of running a meeting, counseling a student, conducting an interview, and calming an angry customer. The art of raising capital, buying a carpet at a souk, or managing a designer. If art is a human connection that causes someone to change his mind, then you are an artist."
