Me in Three

I am a consultant for first line management. I worked as a front line manager for over forty years in the motel, restaurant, sales, and utility business. I retired in 2014, after 40 years experience in restaurant, motel, sales, accounting, and electric distribution operation first line management. AUTHOR: THE FIRST-LINE MANAGER
I am a reader and a learner. I am passionate about developing and providing an enviroment where individuals can develop and be passionate about what they are doing. I think bureaucratic organizations harm, hinder, and retard innovation.
I believe the most important objective of an individual as an employee is to create goodwill for themselves and their company. Passion is innate to an individual and can be enhanced or killed by their company.
