"The quest continues daily in corporate America to develop leaders and create and maintain the necessary change
to become or remain competitive. Our region is fortunate to be acquiring a resource like NKU's
Executive Leadership and Organizational Change Program to prepare leaders and organizations for the tasks at hand.
The organizational change approach to business issues transcends the more typical MBA-style approach that
describes and prescribes. An organizational change approach challenges what doesn't work in the business status quo
and creates the space and momentum for breakthrough thinking that can support business in achieving the success
they desire. This change management approach has guided and driven my long and satisgying management consulting
career. Student of this thinking are in for a great ride!"
