My many years of work experience include management positions in businesses I worked for, and management in a business I was part owner of. I also served for many years as a senior organizational and management development consultant for Penn State University to many organizations. Interestingly, I found almost 100% similarity on the human side of these organizations in opportunities, as well as problems. This was true, even though they had different kinds of products, provided different kinds of services, and were either for profit, or non-profit.

importance of each component, click on each one for a full explanation and some
ideas for working more effectively with that component:
