My views of thinking skills have evolved over the past fifty years of work and exploration through my four career choices: military (USMC,); engineering, business and manufacturing consulting, and education / training.
I explored some of my views about business thinking while authoring or coauthoring five book: The Prepared Mind of a Leader (2006); ReThink, ReInvent, RePosition (2010), Rightsizing Your Business (2011), MindLab II (2012), and Demystifying Business Strategy (2019).
I have conducted hundreds of workshops focused on critical and strategic thinking for large and small businesses around the world.
