Success comes with teamwork. A desire to share my knowledge is the inspiration for this research effort and for choosing this topic for the book, as it is evident that people working together could make a difference and contribute significantly to the success of projects and organizations. I received encouragement from Dr. Timothy Kloppenborg, editor of the book series, and I am grateful to him. My wife, Manga, was patient and supportive throughout this research effort and encouraged me to focus on my research by taking care of many personal issues and challenges during this period. Many thanks to Dr. Parviz Rad, Dr. Edward Wright, Dr. Tracey Richardson, and my graduate assistant, Matthew Smith, for reviewing the draft and providing useful suggestions.
