I continue to believe that businesses and organizations need to think ‘off of the edge of the paper’ in order to assure themselves of the most favorable solutions and outcomes. I also believe that determining the unique right practices for each situation is preferred to “flocking like sheep to the slaughter” by following perceived best practices. What works for one organization may not work for another!”Specialties: Organization DevelopmentLeadership DevelopmentChange ManagementExecutive CompensationEmployee CompensationSales CompensationReward and MotivationPerformance ManagementStrategic PlanningEmployee EngagementCommunicationsCogenerational Workplace
