over 30 years as an executive, consultant, and investor
— and regardless of the industry, technology, or
product, he has seen a decline in the ability of
managers, executives and entrepreneurs, to understand

culmination of his experiences has led him to publish
his new book in the fall of 2005, Demystifying Business
with Cookies and Elephants.
