The author of two books on organizational transformation, his recent book, "The Genetics of Leadership: Cracking the Code of Sustainable Excellence", provides case studies and results of personal interviews with experts such as General Barry McCaffrey, 4-star general and Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy for President Clinton. This research demonstrates organizations with a long-term track record of successful design systems of leadership with a unique leadership DNA and then trains every leader to its requirements. Based on a foundation of classical systems design, it represents the first major innovation in leadership since Henry Ford started rolling Model Ts off his assembly line. He is certified as a Lean Practitioner, Balanced Scorecard design, Strategic Planning, group facilitation, and Project Management. In addition, he is a senior examiner for the Baldrige Quality Award.
