    Become an exceptional manager of people, of one person or thousands.


    People are 4 times more capable than we think, but only if they unleash their full potential of creativity, innovation, productivity, motivation & commitment.

    Would you like to learn how to manage/lead people to unleash their full potential? I can teach you, because I did it and proved the essential leadership skills in four successful turnarounds including a nuclear-powered cruiser and a 1,300 person unionized group in New York City.

    Reader's of the book had this to say:

    - "Excellent does not do justice in describing your book. I don’t know of any executive who could sit down, read your book and not get excited. It’s a great wake up call for US executives and one that should be required reading of anybody who leads, or wants to lead, others." Bill Vick

    - "In reading the book the first time, it almost seemed as if you had observed all the management mistakes I had committed over time and set-out to write a methodology on how to correct them." Shanthie Goonetilleke

    - "Just a cursory read of the ebook indicates to me that it is worth a lot more than the $ 10.00 US. Even if you are not in management, I would recommend it for the following reasons: For self-improvement. For improving work place relations. For improving relations at home." Frank Deutsch

    - "I've now gone through the book and have found it more than illuminating. In fact I have printed out a copy of it for my 17 year old to read and take back to college with him; i think your approach and insight into dealing with people will be invaluable to him, whether he is operating from a leadership position or simply as a team member." Charles Bearsdley

    Read a Review Click here. "The subtitle --- does little to make the casual reader aware of the massive significance of this book." "He asks quite rightly how we can afford to turn off a single one of our people and is very specific about what needs to happen to create what he terms a five star ("Turned On") employee. He is equally specific about what is missing that prevents that five star performance." Peter A. Hunter, author "Breaking the Mould".

    Your Leadership Development and Skill?
    This book provides you what to do and exactly how to do it in order to unleash your employees' full potential. Each how to is actually one of many easy to learn, easy to perform leadership skills.

    Your Leadership Style?
    Don't worry about your leadership style, personality, looks or charisma. My managers and I proved that actions are what count, and carrying out the actions specified by the leadership skills outlined in my book will make you an exceptional manager of people.

    Motivate Employees -or- Unleash Their Motivations?
    We also proved that self-motivation is the key to success. It opens all doors. You know that your best people are self-motivated self-starters. How about a workplace where self-motivation is the norm? The tools to achieve this seemingly lofty goal are easy-to-learn leadership skills. You will also be preventing de-motivation and all its fearsome consequences. In truth, there's no limit to what employees can accomplish once your leadership skill unleashes the power of their own motivations.

    Your benefits from these leadership skills, proven in my 34 years of managing people:

    • most employees become highly motivated and highly committed
    • lower costs of turnover, training, absenteeism, sickness
    • a highly ethical, values-based culture with high morale
    • higher level of creativity and lower costs enable you to beat your competition
    • change, conflict, diversity and ethics problems disappear
    • your stress from managing people turns to satisfaction
    • an ability to turnaround a management disaster
    • 30 to 300% productivity gains per employee!

    To learn about the huge difference between companies who unleash employee motivation and those who don't, I suggest you read the bestseller Good to Great by Jim Collins. Good to Great describes utopia. My book provides the tools to get you there.


    The leadership skill set in the book comprehensively covers the subject of managing people, from A to Z. It includes how to effectively deal with stress and 22 problematic workplace conditions and behaviors such as bosses, bureaucracy, negative attitudes and personality clashes. Whether you manage one person or thousands, these clearly defined leadership skills are your script for achieving excellence.

    In addition, its leadership skills are backed up by easy-to-understand leadership theory which makes so much common sense that you will wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. The "law of gravity" is no more certain than the 20+ principles or "laws of leadership theory" presented in the book.
