As a business owner, engineer, manager, and now an educator, I have always thought of myself as being in the business of helping other people succeed. But like you, at each step of the way I had to learn, and I had to put that learning into action. My latest books are Building Leadership Competence - A Competency-Based Approach to Building Leadership Ability and Unlocking Lean Six Sigma - A Competency-Based Approach to Applying Continuous Process Improvement Principles and Best Practices speak from the voice of experience.
