I am the designer and Manufacturing Brand Manager of the P & G plant in Lima, OH, the international prototype of high performing business systems. I am internationally acclaimed as designer and leader of "The Leadership Development Forum" as the activating force in organizations, integrated wth organization design and business evolution.
I have followed the direction of many US corporations and engaged with many of them to get a sense of their strategic direction, mistakes in direction, issues of conscience and denial of stakeholder needs.
I grew up in a dairy farm in a farming community where I developed core values and have been true to them in my business career. I worked my way through a pre-medical program as a Hospital Orderly and graduated with degrees in Chemistry and Zoology, Pesident of my fraternity, semi-pro baseball player and SFC in MOARNG, which was an attraction to P & G.
We have celebrated our 54th anniversry of marriage, have 4 daughters and a son, 13 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. We celebrate reunions of our family (including 4 sisters and a brother) nieces and nephews at a 2 year interval usually at a location in the midwest. I grew up in Southeast MO, started my career with P & G in St. Louis, was promoted to manufacturing leadership in Chicago, joined the Lima Plant design, moved to Cincinnati to lead a retrofit of oldest plant in P & G and remained in Cincinnati for my career with SaraLee. I have travelled extensively overseas and to most states in the US in my consulting career. We lived in NH on beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee and moved back to Cincinnati to be close to a growing and dynamic family. We live in Liberty Township NW of Cincinnat.
I am a member of BioStart (generating medical startups) Agenda 360 (strategic direction for improving southwest Ohio) regularly consult with several businesses, have been an officer with symphony orchestras, Kiwanis Club, Red Cross, and several other organizations.
"I am a graduate scientist with degrees in Chemistry, Math and Zoology. I have used a scientific approach to research businesses, based on facts, logic and reason and conclusions were drawn based on a scientific approach vs. unsupported myths and stories. My involvement with business allowed me to do in-depth research and gain access to facts and truths about behavior, actions, and gross mistakes due to lack of strategic thinking and poor decision making."vizualizați mai puține
