SET IN ORDER THE THINGS THAT ARE LACKING is a book that is nearing publication. I started this project in a serious way during the pandemic (2020), although less seriously a year before that. Why should I write a book when the Book has already been written? Everything is right in front of us on the pages of the Bible. Biblical leadership is knowable, easily. There are thousands of supporting books written every year about the subject. Application of leadership principles is the challenge — simple, not easy. Leaders are made one at a time. This book strengthens the eldership of the Lord's church, one elder at a time, by throwing my experiences as a spiritual shepherd and executive coach alongside the sacred Word of God.Stay tuned for when and where to order your copy.

I formed Executive Consulting Services (ECS) in 2000 following my resignation from Lockheed Martin Corp. I worked under the mentorship of Don Harbert, Don Harbert Enterprises, Wadsworth, Ohio, learning how to build a solo business of “helping other people reach their goals.” Coaching executives was the natural outcome of all my life’s experiences. I continued to coach several of my ECS clients during my L-3 Avionics years. After retiring from L-3 Avionics and taking a year off to ponder my future, I began this coaching journey again. My son convinced me to re-brand as “Doug”, saying, “The name is a statement of authenticity, simplicity and integrity. It does not try to be anything more than it is, as it is grounded in reality”. . . . what a great son.

My coaching efforts brought me to L-3. Among my clients were three L-3 Corporation division Presidents - two in California and one in Michigan. A need arose in 2004 for a VP Finance in the Michigan division. I was offered and accepted the job because of the challenge, the opportunity to continue my coaching within a large company, and the high degree of teamwork and integrity of the division executive staff. My commitment was to stay five years and help build the finance team. I stayed ten years and retired in 2014. It was here I developed and implemented a program for high achieving employees. Borrowed from the book by Charles Coonradt, 1984, I called the program "The Game of Work - An Adventure in Personal Leadership" - achieving great success in the lives of many employees across the leadership and discipline spectrums. Since retiring, my coaching continues with my company, simply named “Doug”.

Lockheed Martin (LMCO) purchased most of Loral Corporation in 1996. Although very appreciative of the experience and opportunities I was given at Lockheed Martin, my professional leanings were taking shape in the area of coaching executives, which I seemed to do with more frequency while attending to my financial management responsibilities. The contrast in the mission, vision and management styles (Loral vs. LMCO) convinced me to leave and build a personal and professional management development business. The coaching industry was in its infancy.

Loral Corporation purchased Goodyear Aerospace in 1987. Working under the influence of the senior management of this corporation taught me how to think like an entrepreneur, valuing the challenge and reward of taking intelligent risks. Progressing to VP Finance, I learned the reason why "C" level thinking is, and must be, different. "Think like the President, Act like the CFO” became my mantra; a lesson I pass on to my clients. It is at Loral Corp where my developing talent in coaching took root and increased exponentially.

My career started here. Many valuable lessons and character traits developed in these early days. From Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (its mission and employees) I learned the meaning of "Protect Our Good Name", both professionally and personally. At Goodyear Aerospace I learned the complex workings of the United States defense industry and how patriotism is not just demonstrated in enlisting in the military - it extends to the quality of products delivered to the nation's defenders.
