Professor of Management

 

I have dedicated over twenty years of my professional life living, breathing, doing and teaching management.  The connection between people and the organizations they serve is both complex and confusing. A great deal has been learned along the way and it is my pleasure to share with you those insights that, I believe, will make a difference in your professional work. My specialty courses include:

• Diversity in Organizations

• Ethical Leadership

• Human Resource Management

• Organizational Behavior

• Organizational Management

• Organizational Theory

Along the way, I have had the opportunity teach courses in:

• Performance Management

• Organizational Consulting

• Organizational Development

I have also taught courses on subjects that have broadened my view of how things operate.
