About the Editors
I started my career as a programmer, and over the years I’ve worn many hats, including business owner, internal consultant and manager. From all these perspectives, one thing became clear: our level of individual, team and company success was deeply impacted by our work environment and organizational dynamics. As a result, I have spent the last twenty-five years helping companies design their environment, culture, and human dynamics for optimum success.
As well as editing this collection, I've co-authored two other books: Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great, Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management. I contributed to Center, Enter, Turn, Sustain: Essays on Change Artistry and Readings for Problem-Solving Leadership.
My most recent book is 7 Rules for Positive Productive Change: Micro Shifts, Macro Results. It is available on amazon.com.
My goal is to create sustainable work environments that fulfill organizational needs and enable personal growth. I work with executives and managers building coherent organizational structures, processes and goals where teams can flourish. I base my consulting on systems thinking and human systems dynamics focused on increasing the organization’s ability to deliver user value. Nationally, I've worked with clients from Jacksonville, FL to Seattle, WA. I also work internationally when requested.
