I spent the first half of my executive career in search of the
“formulaic key” to organizational success. That journey took
me to the best advice from the world’s leading business
schools and foremost management consultants – the places
where “professional management” is both studied and
taught.

It took a few decades of serious practical experience as Head
of Strategic Development–and CEO, CFO, COO–within several
large diversified financial services organizations, but the
realities finally occurred to me. What the so-called
professional managers taught me unfortunately leads to the
incredible dehumanization of organizations…and then to their
decline. I thought to myself “There had to be a better way
forward!”

So, I wrote a book. On how to identify the problem – and fix it.
