This book is dedicated to everyone interested in affecting beneficial change in large organizations by promoting constructive behavior and good outcomes; by clearly demonstrating modesty, interest in others, and a good work ethic; by showing a willingness to mentor and an eagerness to cooperate; and by making everyone eager to get back to work the next day.

Even more so, we salute the management style that contributes all good things to their teams and coworkers. It was Dwight Eisenhower who said, “Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.”

I have to give special thanks to Dr. Malcolm Chisholm for the invaluable advice he gave me for this book, and the repeated proofreading which rendered him more nights of unexpectedly deep and blissful slumber.

Most of all, I thank the loved ones in my life as that is what makes it all worthwhile, especially my wife and my daughter, whose life story or at least her first 30 years I will one day have to write.
