Welcome

Management is changing. We have entered modern management, which is based on research and study. Previously, supervisors learned from their bosses. They learned practical and time-tested methods and all of the bad techniques as well. It is no surprise that most of us have worked under poor managers. Students in my classes will learn the theoretical basis behind making management decisions. They will also learn how to apply management skills and to make sound choices that are efficient and effective.

Personal message

Students who leave my classes will be able to think about businesses in an educated and critical manner. As an employee or manager, they can recognize effective management and find ways to implement better management practice. Hopefully, they will be excited about the amazing world of work, be challenged to reach for a higher dream, and to find satisfaction in personal success and positive relationships.
